At the end of the book Marya is 23. She is still is fascinated by the idea of death. She still feels an emptiness that can't seem to be filled. She still puts on a plastic smile. She still is very intense. AT the end of the book, she was eating and surviving. She had learned to understand herself and the emptiness inside her instead of fear that emptiness. It still is with her everywhere she goes. There are times where it is better than others. She is now able to look into the mirror with confidence at times without critiquing herself and seeing only her flaws. She fights the voice in her head on a daily basis that shouts her imperfections. Everywhere she goes and everything she eats is a battle inside her. She knew in time it would become easier for her to live.
