About this ebook

Naomi is a thin, fashion-loving Torontonian living in a world that likes it large. Being small is her life, and she gets by day-to-day ignoring the micro grievances that surround her until they become unavoidable obstacles in her dating, family, friend, and work life.

To add to it, the new girl at work is tormenting her, and she doesn't know who to turn to. Who is this Ami chick, and why has she taken such an intense interest in her? This isn't what she asked for. All she wants is acceptance, respect, and a warm body to spoon on cold nights, and it's going to take more than dressing pretty to accomplish it.

This speculative romance takes place in a world similar to our own, but with a tiny twist. Naomi will have to think large and take charge to get what she wants in life, and a pretty girl or a handsome guy on her arm would be an added bonus.

Ratings and reviews

Thin is an interesting read and I'm glad I got to fall into its pages. Vanessa has taken reality's idea of beauty standards and flipped them. Now people who are thick, curvy, and fat are consider beautiful (which they are anyway). This leaves the thin feeling like outcasts and ugly. Of course, some may find it hard to sympathize with Naomi's poor self image, but I think I sort of identified with her. Yes, she's the thin *our* world believes is the ultimate perfection, but the way she feels about her body, the self doubt, is easy to see in myself. I also think we forget that there are people in our world that struggle to gain weight and may actually feel the way Naomi does. This is a good read, a little light on the romance (which is okay), and one I'd recommend to anyone.
