Fatty Fatty Boom Boom: A Memoir of Food, Fat, and Family by Rabia Chaudry

3.0

I found this book difficult to get through for a few reasons. First, her family was awful to her about her weight-- I felt every insult thrown at her from relatives to future inlaws. Second, the descriptions of the food got to be a bit much... maybe if I was more familiar with the Indian dishes she describes, I would find it more relatable. But, I did really enjoy the food descriptions in Crying in H Mart, and I didn't know a lot of the foods in that one, so I think it really was the excessive detail. As a fellow weight struggler, it probabaly hit a bit close to home as well. I admire the author's strength and honesty and would probably more enjoy a book on a different topic by her.
