"A very honest and touching account of the author’s struggle with her eating disorder. Ultimately it’s a story of hope and the determination to keep trying even when you feel you are losing. Emily’s story left me feeling positive and inspired, definitely worth a read."

"This is one of the most powerful, raw and inspiring books that I have read. Never having had to deal with any kind of mental health illnesses it was really interesting to see what someone who is struggling goes through. It is emotional, funny and a really easy read. Definitely a must read."

"I started this book the day it came out on kindle, not knowing what to expect. Well I started it and finished it in the same day. The emotion throughout the story, the raw honesty and the timeline of Emily’s life kept me wanting to read me. As I read the story there were moments of tears, moments of laughter, moments of understanding and empathy but there were also moments that were very relatable. I was left feeling inspired to continue on with my own mental health recovery and to continue on with my dream to write an autobiography. This story is extremely well written and I would recommend it to anyone that is recovering from an eating disorder or a mental illness or anyone who knows of someone in a similar situation. I believe it gives hope to anyone that feels like they will never recover or never be living their dream life. I for one was very inspired and am sure that anyone else that reads this will also be left inspired."

"I had the pleasure of meeting Emily at the self love summit, where she kindly gave me a copy of Stardust. This book made me feel every emotion possible, i could relate to many elements of the book especially the anxiety. She is so very open about her entire journey and exactly what She felt and how she coped. I found it very hard to put down, it was addictive, very well written! what a strong, beautiful, warrior of a woman! I highly recommend Stardust."

"A truly honest, raw and utterly inspiring tale of courage and strength, to overcoming mental illness. It’s great that mental health is now more openly discussed but the world needs more books like this and people like Emily. Emily’s account of her severe struggles with an eating disorder and mental health issues might very well be upsetting, however, how she herself managed to turn her life around, can only inspire others in a similar position to do the same. Having said that, even if you aren’t suffering with exactly the same problems, her words of motivation and encouragement, still provoke a sense of worthiness, that you are enough. Emily makes this book accessible and relatable to all. Through casual, conversational and real dialogue, this book is easy to read and absorb. Thank you for sharing your story Emily"

"I couldn’t put it down. From the moment I picked it up I was instantly hooked. The writing style is conversational almost and you get drawn in precisely the same way that you find yourself staring at somebody, barely blinking and nodding gently if you were face to face. Everything has been laid out on the table, the emotion, the despair, the highs, the lows. Having suffered with depression in my late teens and early twenties I could relate to so much. It’s heartwrenching, it’s often funny even when describing very dark times in her life, it flows and mostly it’s inspiring."

"This is an important book. Emily has brilliant writing skills and her conversational manner keeps you hooked. However this isn’t some book you read out down and forget about. Emily has opened her soul and laid out the the raw emotions involved. She has shown the reality that recovery is a journey and not a quick fix. She has exposed the detrimental negativity in society and empowered the reader to become the positive change we all need. Several close family members of mine have severe mental health struggles, one of which is an eating disorder. These accounts helped me to understand how consumed the sufferer can feel. There is a sense of hope and empowerment for all who have low self worth. I don’t know Emily personally but I think she has done a profound job with this book! Emily is my pilates teacher (the best I’ve ever had) and I’ve joined her six week shape up course. It’s brilliant, recommend to anyone who needs some positivity self care and motivation. Thank you for your humble honesty and hard work. Keep going"

A note from Emily.

If you or someone you know has ever struggled with mental health, relationship with food, body image or suffered with an eating disorder then this is your book of hope, healing and honesty. Stardust is a true account of life, love, laughter and living with an eating disorder and mental health illness. I share with you the truth behind the illness that nearly took my life at the age of 21. Follow my story from the very beginning and find the key to happiness, love and freedom.

I began Stardust as a Wordpress blog in order to get all the thoughts and feelings out that I was going through during recovery. It soon became a platform for people to share their own experiences and connect. It was read in over 30 different countries and had over 6000 views before I took it offline, enabling me to go to schools and universities to talk to students about mental health and eating disorders.

A lot of people can relate to life with a mental health illness or an eating disorder and my hope is that they can read the words that I write and find hope and guidance to help them to become the person that they want to be and find true, inspired freedom.

Others have loved ones that are going through similar experiences that I did but cannot understand the thoughts and feelings that people that are suffering with. One of the most frustrating parts of having a family member suffer with an eating disorder or mental illness is the fact that they don’t know what is going through their loved ones’ mind.

This is what I want to help to uncover, so that those that know someone with a mental health or eating disorder can better understand in order to help.

There is a huge sense of “lets not talk about this” when it comes to mental health. It has got better in the past few years but it is still a very taboo subject that people are afraid to talk about because they fear the way that others may react. I believe that there is a need and a purpose that those who have gone through experiences similar to mine, that I need to share and to speak out so that there is a voice that speaks for those that cannot find the words to speak for themselves.
