Her prose is lucid and vivid, as she seamlessly switches verb tenses and moves through time. She unearths several important themes: body image and sexuality, sexual assault and relationships, and the struggle to piece together one's path in life. </p><p>While other books about eating disorders and treatment may sugarcoat the harsh realities of living with and recovering from an eating disorder, does not hold back. The author presents an honest, detailed account of her experience with treatment, avoiding the clichéd happily-ever-after ending while still offering hope to those who struggle with eating disorders, as well as anyone who has watched a loved one fight to recover from an eating disorder. </p><p><i>Purge</i> sends a message: though the road may be rough, ultimately there is hope.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>Nicole Johns offers unvarnished, unromanticized memoir in 'Purge: Rehab Diaries'<br>&#8212 by Amy Goetzman, MinnPost.com, July 8th, 2009<br><br><BR>Nicole Johns offers unvarnished, unromanticized memoir in 'Purge: Rehab Diaries'<BR>&#8212 by Amy Goetzman, MinnPost.com, July 8th, 2009<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nicole Johns received her MFA from the University of Minnesota and a BA in English from Penn State University-Erie.
