5-Star Amazon Reviews

“The Disappearing Girl is a well written, captivating, heartfelt story, and the fact that there are Kaylas all around us makes it that much more powerful. Anyone who has ever dismissed anas and mias as just being overly dramatic should be required to read this, if only to glimpse the hell these girls put themselves through in order to be accepted.”

“…Heather Wood has written a story about two issues that plague many young girls today. She does not hold back, but really shows anorexia and bulimia for what they are, and illness. The brutal honesty, the dedication and love that Cameron shows, and Kayla’s growth throughout the story make for a really captivating and enlightening read…”
