This book was an absolute mess for the first 70 pages. I couldn’t tell the difference between the characters and the background information was hard to understand, especially Daphne’s. The latter half of the book was much more enjoyable, despite the difficult subject matter. How much suffering, humiliation and lack of respect does it take for a woman to simply give up and do anything takes to lose weight? This book attempts to show that side but does a much better job at showing these women saying ‘enough is enough,’ to all the crap they put up with. I would have loved for this book to have been longer, if only because I think the author brings up brilliant points about race in addition to weight in American women but fails to recognize the wealth privilege of these women. The novel could have been so much deeper if the author chose one and ran with it but instead, it felt too shallow, with not enough time spent on either one.
