I could write pages and pages of my thoughts on this book but they all boil down to this one:
➡️ Everyone should read this. ⬅️
Aubrey Gordon is brilliant, engaging, emotionally vulnerable and inspiring. In 165 pages she gives an incredibly well-researched yet personal account of the costs of anti-fatness through an intersectional lens. And like every stain on American culture, the costs of anti-fatness are high and affect all of us.
