This is a quick absolutely authentic memoir. The author is straight forward in the beginning of the memoir explaining what we should expect from this book. I would love for her to write a sequel. This is exactly why women have body issues, fatphopia, insecurities and more. My heart goes out to any woman who has endured this type of treatment. Moderate swearing. Mild sexual content.

melanie_page's review against another edition
People can call this book brave all they want, but it begins with the author describing herself like a literal clown-pig. I will not read stuff like that, but I flipped through to read the start of a few chapters to see if it has a harsh beginning but develops. She describes herself in elementary school as being so fat that you can't even see her pig eyes. Okay, that's not a thing, and I should have been more skeptical when I read Oprah, a notorious fat hater, praised this book.
