Representaion Concering Books Skinny

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.

Criticize About Books Skinny

very small interesting differences when you realize that this in set in canada, and that the medical system is different there. two sisters tell the story - gizelle and holly, daughters of first generation hungarian immigrants. a tale of how people deal with trauma, adolescence and being different, close to everything i know in this strange way. (at one point, gizzy is looking at potatoes and thinking how much better they would be with sour cream and butter - oh, eastern european food!) the



Frankly, this book was a total letdown. Gizelle seemed like a disappointing charade of what Kaslik read in a DSM of what an anorexic "should be." She definitely got aspects correct, but Gizelle was such an annoying (and hygienically repulsive character) that I could not feel badly for her. Moreover, her sister was equally as annoying and neither had any true characteristics other than obsessing over each other. Their bond was similarly as unbelievable as Gizelle reflecting anorexia, as Gizelle

This book was very raw and realistic and sad. We get to see this story through two different points of views, and at first I wasnt sure how to feel about this but in the end I found it interesting to see the illness from Hollys point of view.Giselle is an incredibly intelligent med student who suffers from anorexia, as you read along you start to see that it seems that she also suffers from Dissociative identity disorder(multiple personality) one part of her wants to be healthy, understands that

4.5 "harsh, stylized, visceral" stars!! 2016 Honorable Mention Read Ms. Kaslik spares nobody in this family drama. A mother and two daughters grieve the death of the male figure (father/husband) and each are damaged to varying degrees. Mother is tired, lonely and unable to move forward. The story though mostly revolves around the two daughters as they struggle with themselves and each other. The elder has had to drop out of med school as she has relapsed with severe (and I mean severe) anorexia

pros:-the writing was really nice-the topic was handled pretty well -I found the story about the main characters parents pretty interesting and added more to the storycons:-the love interest "sol" is a shitty person, and for some reason he was allowed to be shitty and everyone was just ok with this. Also the fact that there even needed to be a love interest in this??? Stop! Not everyone needs a guy to save them-holly, the main characters sister was like 5 different people at once. I couldn't
