Corrigan, Eireann. (2002). You remind me of you: a poetry memoir. Corrigan recounts her experiences in and out of treatment facilities for her eating disorder through honest, sometimes harshly so, poetry. The author's trials did not end at that. Her boyfriend attempted suicide by placing a shotgun between his eyes. Corrigan was dating another boy at the time, but raced to her damaged friend's side once she heard the news. In this retropsective, Corrigan details the struggles, schemes, and shocks of dealing with a distorted self-image and a suicidal ex-boyfriend. Although the poet's experiences are an extreme, she touches on the insecurities and problems that many teens face on a daily basis. This book would be best for teens aged 13 and up.
