Skinny by Donna Cooner
4.0

Skinny is the voice inside all of our heads. She's the voice we can chose to ignore when we feel strong, and the voice that needles us when we are weak and vulnerable. The novel Skinny is ultimately about what we choose to believe about ourselves and how that voice can act as a barrier between us and those we love. Ever Davies is a 15 year old teen whose weight problems have enveloped her in a cocoon of bitterness and self depreciation. Blinded by this self hatred she damages several potential relationships. Gastric Bypass surgery gives her the courage to finally be comfortable in her own skin. This is an excellent read for teens dealing with body image and self esteem issues.
