After all, college is an eye-opening experience for most students. Giselle and her family’s situation is a reality that many readers can recount.If you’re suddenly wondering, “Can someone do my paper for me?”, there’s likely a very good reason for that. Giselle’s constant negative thinking leads to a life of utter destruction and not only is she tearing down her own personal life and what could have been, she’s hurting all of those around her, especially her family. While Holly developed somewhat of a discipline problem, her sister developed an eating disorder and became a suicide risk because she felt disconnected and just wanted to be loved. Despite their differences they both share the pain of no longer having their father and as time goes on the tragedy hits both sisters hard but effects each one differently.

Contrasting characters, Holly Vasco, a healthy, spontaneous, and young teen, along with her older, exposed, ill but yet still beautiful sister Giselle Vasco narrate the novel Skinny. Kaslik does a sensational job of addressing real life situations occurring in young peoples lives such as dealing with depression, eating disorders, violence, grief, sexuality, and drugs. People need to read Skinny for the mere reason that it’s so realistic and allows many readers to relate to it. It captured my attention right away and had me engaged throughout the entire story. It wasn’t only informal, but it had it’s entertaining moments as well.

This is hands down one of my favorite novels because there was never a dull moment and the practicality of it all was captivating. I am close to many people facing problems exactly like the ones that were portrayed in Skinny. She takes on a huge role writing this depressing novel as she goes deep into the endeavors of demonstrating many issues facing youth and into two young girls struggling minds. I could not help but to immediately feel sorry for the family in the novel Skinny by Ibi Kaslik.
