What The Reviewers Say

Stef Rubino,
Autostraddle
Stunning and incisive.
Catherine Lantz,
Library Journal
This book’s tone is compassionate as Specter creates a foundation for accepting oneself and rejecting stereotypes. Self-help, sociology, entertainment, and memoir readers from many generations will appreciate this wholehearted approach..

Kirkus
Specter dives deep into her personal experience, but she never loses track of the far-reaching, societal factors that contribute to and arise out of diet culture and the shaming of fat bodies.

Publishers Weekly
Smart.
