Skinny is the debut novel by Hungarian-Canadian author Ibi Kaslik, first published by HarperCollins in May 2004. It appeared on the New York Times best sellers list[1] for two consecutive weeks in 2008.
Skinny is about two sisters, 22-year old medical student Giselle and 14-year old track star Holly. Giselle suffers from anorexia possibly linked to the love-deprived relationship with her father, who has been dead for nine years and had always favoured Holly. The story is told from the perspective of both girls.
