Thin Girls by Diana Clarke
5.0
4.5
This explores the relationships that people, especially women, have with their bodies in today’s society. It also addresses queerness, sexuality, and domestic abuse.
I could focus on analyzing Clarke’s craft and plotting, which is rushed at times and then alternatively very slow at others, but this book is still moving and important. It’s also still very readable and swallowed me up (no pun intended). I don’t know if this will be triggering for some people, but it’s insightful, even gratifying as a narrative of eventual recovery.
Fuck diet culture. And stop commenting on women’s bodies.
If those last two sentences resonate with you, read Thin Girls.
