Black Light Book 12.5
They may not have used the ‘f’ word, but it didn’t matter. She knew she was too fat.
Khloe finally has it all — good friends, a successful acting career, a Dom who loves her, and a bright future ahead of her. Despite that, old insecurities flare after she is turned down for a coveted role. Khloe quickly falls back into old habits that lead down a dark and dangerous path.
If she hurries, she can achieve her goal weight by the time anyone finds out. Because stopping is always the easy part, right?
Black Light: Purged is a short story set in the Black Light world. It gives a candid glimpse into the life of a woman who struggles with eating disorders. For this reason, it could be a trigger for some readers.
My Review:
We like to think that we have mastery over ourselves, our minds, our bodies. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes, despite our best intentions there’s something, in the wiring, in the chemistry, heck in the way we’ve trained our bodies and emotions to react to stimulus. There’s just something that throws the system out of whack, and progress made to be better, healthier, our best selves, is set back a pace or two. Khloe faces that situation. And her story reminds us that, whether we realize it or not, when we’re loved, there are people that will pick us back up and pull us back from the brink. Even when we don’t ask for help. Even when we’re actively refusing that help. That’s what the people who love us do. They love us for who we are, not in spite of it. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this story from the author.
