Thin Girls

by Diana Clarke

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.--Publisher's description. Rose and Lily Winters are twins. They feel each other's emotions, taste what the other is feeling, but their connection can be as destructive as it is supportive. When Rose stops eating, Lily starts consuming everything Rose won't or can't. Now Rose is about to mark her one-year anniversary in a rehabilitation facility for anorexics. Lily, a kindergarten teacher, dates abusive men, including a student's married father, in search of the complicated companionship she lost when she became separated from Rose. When Lily joins a cult diet group, Rose must find a way to rescue her-- and perhaps, save herself. -- adapted from jacket
