In this painfully moving memoir, take a firsthand look at anorexia through the eyes of a young girl. Even in kindergarten, Rachel Richards knows something isn't right. By leading us through her distorted thoughts, she shines a light on the experience and mystery of mental illness. As she grows up, unable to comprehend or communicate her inner trauma, Rachel lashes out, hurting herself, running away from home, and fighting her family. Restricting food gives her the control she craves. But after being hospitalized and force-fed, Rachel only retreats further into herself.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Precociously intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and ambitious, Marya Hornbacher grew up in a comfortable middle-class American home. At the age of 5, she returned home from ballet class one day, put on an enormous sweater, curled up on her bed, and cried because she thought she was fat. By age 9, she was secretly bulimic, throwing up at home after school, while watching Brady Bunch reruns on television and munching Fritos. She added anorexia to her repertoire a few years later and took great pride in her ability to starve. Marya's story gathers intensity with each passing year. By the time she is in college and working for a wire news service in Washington D.C., she is in the grip of a bout of anorexia so horrifying that it will forever put to rest the romance of wasting away. Down to 52 pounds and counting, Marya becomes a battlefield: her powerful death instinct at war with the will to live. Why would a talented young girl go through the looking glass and slip into a netherworld where up is down, food is greed, and death is honor? Why enter into a love affair with hunger, drugs, sex, and death? Marya Hornbacher sustained both anorexia and bulimia through 5 lengthy hospitalizations, endless therapy, the loss of family, friends, jobs, and ultimately, any sense of what it means to be "normal." In this vivid, emotionally wrenching memoir, she recreates the experience and illuminates the tangle of personal, family, and cultural causes underlying eating disorders.

Histoire3.5 out of 5 stars 7
I haven't tasted chocolate for over ten years and now I'm walking down the street unwrapping a Kit Kat. Remember when Kate Moss said, 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'? She's wrong: chocolate does. At the age of 32, after ten years of hiding from the truth, Emma Woolf finally decided it was time to face the biggest challenge of her life. Addicted to hunger, exercise and control, she was juggling a full-blown eating disorder with a successful career, functioning on an apple a day.

Description
A dark, edgy, voice-driven literary debut novel about twin sisters that explores body image and queerness as well as toxic diet culture and the power of sisterhood, love, and lifelong friendships, written by a talented protégé of Roxane Gay.
Rose and Lily Winters are twins, as close as the bond implies; they feel each other’s emotions, taste what the other is feeling. Like most young women, they’ve struggled with their bodies and food since childhood, and high school finds them turning to food - or not - to battle the waves of insecurity and the yearning for popularity. But their connection can be as destructive as it is supportive, a yin to yang. When Rose stops eating, Lily starts - consuming everything Rose won’t or can’t.
Within a few years, Rose is about to mark her one-year anniversary in a rehabilitation facility for anorexics. Lily, her sole visitor, is the only thing tethering her to a normal life.
But Lily is struggling, too. A kindergarten teacher, she dates abusive men, including a student’s married father, in search of the close yet complicated companionship she lost when she became separated from Rose.
When Lily joins a cult diet group led by a social media faux feminist, whose eating plan consists of consuming questionable noncaloric foods, Rose senses that Lily needs her help. With her sister’s life in jeopardy, Rose must find a way to rescue her - and perhaps, save herself.
Illuminating some of the most fraught and common issues confronting women, Thin Girls is a powerful, emotionally resonant story, beautifully told, that will keep you captivated to the gratifying, hopeful end.

An Absolute Must-Read
Wow. Just absolutely amazed by this novel. Quite possibly my favourite novel that looks at the experience of somebody who suffers with an ED. The characters all felt so real, and as somebody who suffers with an ED, it was like the protagonist was speaking my innermost thoughts.
This story is truly heart wrenching. I laughed and cried along with the characters the whole way. At times it was extremely triggering so please tread with care if you suffer with disordered eating.
With the scare amount of literature that covers this disorder, this novel truly blows the rest out of the water. At no point did I feel like it was crossing the line of “cringe”… it just felt so, so real. Plus, even though the main character struggles with anorexia, there is so much representation of the other subtypes of eating disorders which DESPERATELY needed that attention. I commend the author for bringing such heavy topics to light.
Also amazing performance by the speaker! I could hear the pain and heart behind every word. Well done!! Cant wait to listen again!!

nothing special
well written, promising at first but as a twin who has also gone through anorexia, i didn't find it all that authentic, the other twin lily is a cliché of the girly girl while the protagonist is the "i'm not like other girls" cliché. Also misrepresentation of abusive relationships in my opinion and very judgamental of BDSM for some reason.

Too precious & predictable
Full of tropes and as self indulgent as a soap opera. Every plot twist was predictable and melodramatic.

Great narration
I enjoyed the story, it’s thoughtfully written. What I really loved was the narration. This person’s voice is sort of deep and sultry, she purrs the story into your ear and I couldn’t get enough. I’ve already chosen my next listen because she’s the narrator. Really really nice to listen to.

Raspy voice
I couldn’t get through the first 2 chapters without wanting to rip out my headphones from the super forced raspy voice. Immediately grosses me out.

Above average
Identical twins Rose and Lily are two halves of a whole. Until they aren’t. As a teen Rose turns to dieting, which becomes anorexia and Lily to unhealthy relationships with boys and eating. The more weight Rose loses, the more Lily gains. Now in their mid twenties, Rose languishes in an eating disorder clinic while Lily dates an abusive married man who tries to tear the sisters apart.
THIN GIRLS packs a lot of issues into its pages. Family, sisters, enmeshed relationships, acceptance, self-esteem, body image, sexual orientation, dating, abuse and friendship are some of the themes. Diana Clarke delves deeply into the twins’ relationships with each other and their hapless parents.
With the exception of the writing style and the twins’ age, THIN GIRLS had the feel of a young adult eating disorder book because of Rose’s immaturity and manipulative behavior, all part of her anorexia. She didn’t engage in treatment, playing games to trick staff. When Lily wouldn’t visit, Rose threatened not to eat until her sister came.
Diana Clarke’s prose danced off my kindle screen as if they were poetry masterfully capturing Rose’s intelligent, yet mentally ill voice in a manner both maddening and sympathetic. Empathizing with Lily’s frustration was also easy.
THIN GIRLS will appeal to young adults interested in eating disorders as well as those interested in women’s fiction.

Finally a book about the true dangers of dieting!
I think the author did a great job with this book because she covered the extremes of an eating disorders and treatment centers, but she also talked about disordered eating and how we've normalized it in our society which is not okay.
She even mentions orthorexia which most think is "clean eating" but it's way more extreme than that.
Diet culture is to blame for all of this and more books like this are needed so the general population can understand that it all starts with a diet and/or restriction of some kind.
