This isn’t a five star book because: 1) I felt it didn’t hit its stride till around ~80 pages in and 2) there’s a teensy bit of casual fatphobia in here that I didn’t particularly like (such as her friend Farly loving reality TV programs like My 600 Lb. Life, except it was the UK equivalent which I can’t remember the name of). Also, I found myself deeply relating to the “Being a Bit Thin, Being a Bit Fat” chapter quite a bit, but I wonder if there was some fatphobic stuff in there that I couldn’t clock because I’m not a fat person. I’d be curious to hear how fat readers feel about this book.
I think this book has a really specific target demographic. All the negative reviews I’ve seen have been from folks outside that demographic. I am squarely within the target demographic for this book, so I loved it. Cannot recommend this enough if you’re a 20-something or 30-something woman!!
