Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia de Rossi
4.0
I have mixed feelings about this book. I remembered watching Ally McBeal growing up and while reading the book I had trouble placing the character I remembered from the show, to the adult with extreme body issues that I read about in the book. It was actually heartbreaking at times to read about her struggles every day - how exhausting that must have been!
So while I found the story fascinating, I agree with other reviewers with regard to the plot - so much time was spent on her anxieties and showing the worst days, yet very little time was spend on HOW she actually recovered.
Definitely a book I would suggest that anyone read who struggled with their weight - it really highlights the importance of being healthy rather than striving for that Hollywood idea of 'perfection'.
