A review by toryhallelujah
Skin by Adrienne Maria Vrettos

3.0

3.5 stars. I don't think I've ever read an eating disorder book before that wasn't from the sufferer's POV...although it's unfair to just say that EDs affect just one person, as Skin makes abundantly clear -- they affect families and friends and communities. I was heartbroken by the younger brother trying to save his big sister, because I could so clearly picture MY little brother doing the same for me.

I doubt there's ever been a more despicable human being written than the father of this family. It's no wonder his daughter was as fucked-up as she was, poor thing.

Compelling.
