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!!
