Reviews

Dooner's follow-up to The F*ck It Diet chronicles her life becoming obsessed with different diets and self-help ventures, including raw veganism, the French Women Don't Get Fat diet, and more. Dooner takes a deep dive into the culture surrounding the way she created her world, trying constantly to be perfect and have control. The way to heal this was by letting go of that need for perfectionism and embracing radical rest. Even though this book doesn't come out till 2022, it's a must-read. If you haven't read The F*ck It Diet, that's out now, and you can go read it before this one comes out. Dooner uses herself as an example of all the ways diet and self-help culture has failed us.

I was not familiar with the author prior to reading this book, but the title grabbed me - who ISN’T tired AF after the past 18 months?! Dooner skillfully weaves her experiences with social commentary regarding diet and self-help culture and the ill after effects that can occur when you push too hard and burn out. The book is structured in short chapters that feel like you’re catching up with a friend or listening to a story over dinner. I really related to much of the material and enjoyed this book,
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for an ARC of this title.
