4.0

Skinny by Laura L. Smith: I had picked up this YA book on a whim and found it to be something I would recommend to both mothers with teenage daughters and their daughters. It was a good reminder on how overwhelming teenage life can truly be and also how hard it is to talk to your parents about some things. I found the story to be believable but tied up rather quickly. It does deal with a subject matter that has become all to relevant in today's world: eating disorders and body image issues. You get to see the girl's struggle and how she got to that point in the first place. While I don't think a majority of girl's have eating disorders almost all have body image issues of some sort.
