Thin Girls by Diana Clarke
5.0
I have a lot of feelings on this book. Not as positive:
- do not read this if you have any history with disordered eating. just don't
- parts of it are graphic and disgusting (the way the twins taste each others emotions was a big ick for me, amongst other graphic descriptions)
- I used to think I wanted to have a twin and I no longer want that
- where were the parents?! (this is covered but inadequately, the parents really failed these two girls spectacularly)
More positive:
- important commentary on feminism, sisterhood, how hard it is to be a woman, diet culture etc.
- really real emotions and a beautiful story of growth
- this book made me think/feel - it will stay with me for a while
