Notes
Description
"Skim" is Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a not-slim, would-be Wiccan goth who goes to a private girls' school in the early '90s. When her classmate Katie Matthews is dumped by her boyfriend, who then kills himself, the entire school goes into mourning overdrive. Suicide, depression, love, homosexuality, crushes, cliques of popular, manipulative peers-- the whole gamut of teen life is explored in this poignant glimpse into the heartache of being 16.
