i hesitate to give this book this rating because i worry that it will convince other people not to read the memoir. i ended up rating it a 2 because the writer has a specific sense of humor that didn't always resonate with me, but i still thought she had valuable things to say. the book feels more like a conversation than a true memoir, and i can see how that can be engaging for others. it's just not necessarily the right fit for me, and i feel like i would rather read articles written by the author rather than a full book. i've also never heard of the author - i largely picked this book up based on the cover and the interesting typography of the title. moving forward, i'm eager to read her articles and follow her work in other media outlets.

altogether, a quick, engaging read that touches on different aspects of feminism, fat activism, online harassment etc. the writing style just didn't work for me for a full-length book, but don't let that dissuade you from reading it as well.
