I majored in psychology and really appreciated this meditation on body image and food deprivation. I have always been fascinated with the psychology of eating disorders and this book explores two twins struggling with anorexia. We are given a deep, intense look into the mind's of two twin girls suffering from this horrific disease. It was a very interesting read. I am always on the lookout for books that will stretch both my knowledge and insight. This book achieved both objectives while also being engaging and engrossing. Highly recommended for those interested in psychology.

A strong debut told in the voices of two sisters.Covers many emotional moments eating difficulties sexual identity.Hearing their intimate thoughts their life difficulties makes this a compelling read and this is an author to follow. #netgalley#harpercollins

Thin Girls was an interesting read. I like the plot and the two different sisters. Diana Clarke did a great job at capturing the voices of both characters.

Diana Clarke's "Thin Girls" explores a complex relationship between twin sisters as well as the communities they find to support their disordered eating.
Rose, our narrator, gives us glimpses into the twins' past, showing us how their connection evolved (as well as how Rose's anorexia developed) throughout their young lives.
This book is heartbreaking and, eventually, hopeful. It's a compelling story made even better by beautiful writing and deeply developed relationships. This is much more than a book about eating disorders, it explores women and the communities we seek (supportive and otherwise) and how society supports and ignores us.
I look forward to reading more from this author!
Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book. Not only do we have the story of Lily and Rose, twins, but we also have Rose’s thoughts and tangents. There’s so much going on that I couldn’t put it down! The ending was a little abrupt, but otherwise the story was perfect.
