ROLLER SKATE SKINNY is written from the perspective of an unreliable (mentally ill) narrator in the midst of a life crisis. The novel is comparable to My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite or The Lost by Sarah Beth Durst. It is also comparable to We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Award winning editor M. T. Hussey stated that Roller Skate Skinny contains "great visual moments and Delilah's trials and tribulations are vividly told. There are some fascinating decisions and a sense of inevitability that draws the reader in."
