A series of short stories where just about every woman character is fat or struggling with their self-image regardless of their weight. No one is truly happy. I didn't enjoy reading this, but it wasn't bad. Just not really my type of story.

I am so glad I read this book when I did. I would not have been able to appreciate the nuance and grey morality of the main character had I read it sooner. Such a great book!
