From Amazon: Toni has no idea what she’d do without her best friend, Carter. Who else would she be able to vent to about her parents, her job at the dance studio, or her latest relationship woes? When Toni’s father lands in the hospital, Carter, as always, is there for her.
That is, until he starts questioning Toni, saying he thinks she has an eating disorder. Then she starts dating Clint, the hot new guy at the studio, and somehow that puts a deeper wedge between her and Carter. When she’s hospitalized after an on-stage collapse, and Carter stupidly starts in with advice about food and weight, she sends him away—then instantly regrets it.
Toni tries to mend the hurt between them, but instead of finding Carter, she stumbles onto proof that he has feelings for her that go way beyond those of a friend. Toni is left with the very real prospect of losing Carter forever, unless somehow she can return his feelings—but that’s impossible.
Isn’t it?

Rating: **** (I really liked it)
Review: A Portrait for Toni was a very moving story. It tells
the story of best friends who come to love each other despite problems and misconceptions. Toni is dealing with an eating disorder
and Carter is trying to figure out how to help her. I thought
the way Annette dealt with the very serious issue of Bulimia was
very thoughtful and at the same time straightforward. There are
also moments of humor which gives the story a real life feel. I
was touched by the way the story came together in the end, and
how each of the main characters had to change themselves in
order to find each other. The story was well developed and you
felt like you were part of their lives. I actually, sometimes,
found myself wishing Carter would fall for Brooke because Toni was so blind! You will not be disappointed with this book. The characters are real and come across as imperfect, but
lovable people, just like real life! Read it, you will love it.
