Why I think the author picked the title "Wintergirls"


Well the Wintergirls is written by Laurie Halse Anderson. Now Wintergirls is not a common name for a book. Personally I find the name to mean that the girls in the book are well sick, cold in side. These girls must have a problem, a series one. In this book the main character is named Lia. She is a teenager that has an eating disorder. They reference that she is always cold that could be another reason why that at her very low weight that she is frozen and cold. She tries to hide it from everyone she lives with; she does a good job of it too. The girl that was supposed to be her best friend her best friend abandons her and then died. So that’s what I thought about the title Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.23p
