ABOUT THE BOOK
“Everyone trusted me back
then. Good old, dependable Diana. Which is why most people didn’t notice at
first.”
Praise for The Obvious Game:
“I couldn’t put
down The Obvious Game. Arens perfectly captures the hunger, pain and
uncertainty of adolescence.” -- Ann Napolitano, author of A GOOD HARD LOOK
and WITHIN ARM'S REACH
"THE OBVIOUS
GAME is a fearless, honest, and intense look into the psychology of anorexia.
The characters—especially Diana--are so natural and emotionally authentic that
you’ll find yourself yelling at the page even as you’re compelled to turn
it." -- Coert Voorhees, author of LUCKY FOOLS and THE BROTHERS TORRES
"Let’s be
clear about one thing: there’s nothing obvious about The Obvious Game. Arens
has written a moving, sometimes heart-breaking story about one girl’s attempt
to control the uncontrollable. You can’t help but relate to Diana and her
struggles as you delve into this gem of a novel." -- Risa Green, author of THE SECRET
SOCIETY OF THE PINK CRYSTAL BALL
