This Will Be Good

The protagonist is one of four sisters in a Christian household who face a variety of struggles as they grow up. As she explores her awakening femininity, she struggles with an eating disorder rooted in childhood that continues into her early adulthood, which disrupts relationships with her family, her friends, and herself. This complex Canadian novel in verse examines timely and relatable themes of identity, personal growth, loss, self-acceptance, and body image, and encourages students to think critically and make connections about healthy life choices and the influence of external and internal factors. Social considerations noted; should be presented with caution and teacher support.
