Thin Girls by Diana Clarke

4.0

4.5 stars. This book was beautifully written but was haunting at the same time. I found myself entranced by it in multiple ways: the writing, the characters, its commentary of “wellness programs” and more. I would recommend some caution to anyone who has ever suffered from an ED or disordered eating—it was definitely very triggering at times. However, it was one of the best portrayals of how society has corrupted people (women especially) into constantly thinking and analyzing everything they eat, and how that manifests in different types of EDs, not just anorexia/bulemia—which are often the only ones discussed in books about disorders eating.
