Description:

"Do you ever get hungry?" Giselle asks her younger sister, Holly. "Too hungry to eat?" Giselle is 22, a top medical student and a functioning anorexic. Except now, driven by the pressures of school, and haunted by her late father's rejection of her, Giselle is no longer functioning. Holly, a 14-year-old track star, can see that Giselle is going to have to confront the memory of their father if she wants to get better. It seems easier for Hollyshe sweats through life's problemsbut now even she feels burdened by the past.Skinny is the lyrically written, heartbreakingly honest story of two sisters struggling to come to terms with their adult selves. A gritty and often wryly funny look at growing up, the messy family bonds of love and pain, and the hunger for acceptance that drives us all. Skinny strikes home hard, a novel that enters a young woman’s world and comes out the other side with resonance and grace.
