![]() ![]() A metaphor for her own blindness when Ever thinks of herself. When Ever truly begins to see herself as changed, she confronts her inner demon and realizes that Skinny is blind. Even as she begins to change on the outside, Skinny is still there on the inside. Skinny constantly belittles Ever and destroys almost every relationship she possesses. The impact Skinny has on Ever is devastating. On top of Ever’s weight problems is this disgusting voice in her head she calls: Skinny. She lives under the constant scrutiny of everyone around her, and Skinny the voice in her head makes sure she never forgets how fat and ugly she is. When it becomes apparent that her weight gain is also a health issue they decide to go through with the surgery. Happily ever after Or never ever, Ever.Ever’s mom loved fairy tales, but at fifteen-years-old and weighing 302 lbs, Ever Davies is sure that happily ever after was never written for her. Ever has been depending on food for comfort ever since her mother died, and although she can count calories like the best weight conscious people out there, she just can’t seem to control herself. ![]() But what I want to make perfectly clear is that although initially Ever has gastric bypass surgery to become skinny like the other girls, this is NOT a book about a girl becoming skinny. Donna Cooner brought this girl to life for me, and I could relate to her in so many ways. ![]() This is the journey of a brave girl named Ever, bullied because of her weight she decides to do something about it. Skinny made me cry, it made me laugh and it made me look at myself in a completely different light. ![]()
