Product Description:
Do you ever get hungry? Too hungry to eat?
Holly’s older sister, Giselle, is self-destructing. Haunted by her love-deprived relationship with her late father, this once strong role model and medical student, is gripped by anorexia. Holly, a track star, struggles to keep her own life in balance while coping with the mental and physical deterioration of her beloved sister. Together, they can feel themselves slipping and are holding on for dear life.
This honest look at the special bond between sisters is told from the perspective of both girls, as they alternate narrating each chapter. Gritty and often wryly funny, Skinny explores family relationships, love, pain, and the hunger for acceptance that drives all of us.

I have just finished this book. I am a teen and thought it can teach girls alot about eating disorders. While many people make fun of eating disorders and act like they are no big deal, this book shows that they are.

But with my trusty Webster's dictionary I got through the book and I am happy I did. This book ... Read More

Amazing raw and touching, Skinny is narrated by two sisters who both live with their own problems. One who's just gotten out of the hospital due to an eating disorder and the other who's just trying to figure out herself and what's wrong with her family. The author throws in real facts about Anorexia nervosa every few pages which makes the story more interesting and understandable. The ending could be interpreting in many ways but mine is of something better than what it was like before for the two ... Read More

I had a best friend who was Giselle. Even had an Eve who left her. I still blame "Eve" for why my friend was the way she was. I pulled away because I didn't want to deal with what Holly did. My friend got better and she struggles every day. She even read this book. When I told her I was reading it, she told me I would love it. Told me she was happy when I told her I was proud of all the progress she has made. That she now has someone she loves who loves her who is not going to hurt her and makes her ... Read More

Ibi Kaslik thought about what it is like when your sister has an eating disorder, and also takes the book from the perspective if you had that eating disorder. Two sisters recount the days when everything was well, their dad was alive, and when none of them had anorexia. They also talk about the present, their struggles with their relationship, food, and other people. These sisters go through a life changing experience when one of them is on the verge of death. They learn, by leaning on each other, they ... Read More

Holly's older sister is fighting anorexia and Holly herself is trying to cope with her sister's deterioration and change from a top medical student and role model to a sick person in Ibi Kaslik's Skinny. How can she affect her sister's life and how can she consider positive changes in the face of such consuming hungers? SKINNY is a passionate look at anorexia in the family and its effects on the entire family, differing from similar titles that focus on the sufferer alone.
