Eat Only When You're Hungry: A Novel by Lindsay Hunter
2.0
Totally fixated on how awful it is to be fat. This feels like something written by someone who has never ever been close to obese.
I saw a lot of "highly anticipated" rave reviews for this book, but avoided reading it until it ended up on the ToB longlist and I should have trusted my intuition. Ultimately I don't find this idea that obesity and somehow equates to alcoholism or drug addiction to be novel or empathetic. Too much moralising masquerading as literature.
