[edit] Summary
Skinny is about two sisters, 22-year old medical student Giselle and 14-year old track star Holly. Giselle suffers from anorexia and the love-deprived relationship with her father, who has been dead for nine years and has always favoured Holly. The story is told from the perspective of both girls, alternating between chapters.
