I didn't read every word of this book, but I feel that I got something valuable from it. This is mostly a personal story about Roth's continuing struggle with self-worth and body image. If you have issues like that, you might want to give this book a try, if for nothing else than the feeling of companionship.

Geneen Roth writes from a personal perspective ... easy reading, but chock full of insights.

Many insights as per usual with any of Geneen's books.

This one sort of got off-topic a few times. She digressed on her relationship with her best friend which ended, and on her relationship with her first editor. Both chapters were okay in their own right but they didn't fit with the rest of the book in my opinion.

Still--Geneen always has something helpful and inspiring to say and I'm glad I read this one all the same.
