![]() ![]() Katie Matthews is one of the popular girls, whose outgoing and athletic ex-boyfriend committed suicide. And she’s falling in love for the first time. She’s starting to have differences with her best friend Lisa. She is into tarot cards, Wicca, and astrology. She lives with her mother, but the relationship is distant. “Skim” is the nickname of Kimberly Keiko Cameron, a Canadian high school student with estranged parents. ![]() Worse, our sense of self and established beliefs are often shaken. Whenever suicide, depression, or falling in love touches our lives – whether directly or through others, whether as teenagers or as adults who should know better, we are left with far more questions than answers. My evaluation may not sound enthusiastic, but I think it was the right approach for the story. They are all within the pages, but don’t expect a thorough examination. Skim never delved deeply into any of the promised themes.
