A great primer for dismantling anti-fat bias, but not a book for someone already very familiar with fat liberation. If you listen to it from beginning to end it gets repetitive, but I suppose it’s structured that way so that you can read it out of order or just a little bit at a time. I will recommend this book to some friends and family but unfortunately I think this is the kind of book where the people who could *really* benefit from reading it will not be the ones reading it. That’s not to say it wasn’t excellently written or that there’s nothing to gain for you here if you are already a fan of Aubrey Gordon. There is a lot here that she has said before on Maintenance Phase, but there’s also new stuff here. For me though, I was missing her sense of humor and fiery passion which are so evident in her conversations. The reflection questions and opportunities for action at the end of each chapter were great.
