Thin Girls by Diana Clarke

3.0

Holy trigger warnings, Batman! Tread extremely careful with this book if you have a current or history of disordered eating. Diana Clarke's Thin Girls is about twin sisters Lily and Rose. It has dual storylines of their past and present. As they grew up, they looked identical until high school where they diverged. The weight that Rose lost, Lily gained and their separation was a struggle. In the present, we find Rose in an inpatient eating disorders facility where she has been hospitalized for a year. She appears to be at a stasis- not getting better, not getting worse. When she discovers Lily's life is being destructed, she takes action. Clarke is a good writer, and I enjoyed the two siblings (Rose was more fleshed (no pun intended) out that Lily), but this book is so triggering that I think a lot of readers will struggle with it.
