Summary The actress, who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films, shares how she confronted all the complexities and contradictions within herself; reveals how she began to conquer her self-hate and eating disorder; and explores the choices that led her down the path of creativity.
Lynch faced disordered eating as a young girl, found solace in a beloved book series, and later landed the part of her favorite character-- Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. Now a actress and writer, there remains a conflict at her core: a bitter struggle between the pursuit of perfection and the desire to fearlessly embrace her creative side. In her memoir, Lynch delves into the heart of her relationship with her body. She explores the pivotal choices that ultimately led her down the path of creativity and toward acceptance of the wild, sensual, and unpredictable reality of womanhood. -- adapted from back cover
