Fat Girl: A True Story by Judith Moore

2.0

I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't. It's more than a little depressing, this is get out the razor and run the bathwater depressing. Moore had a shitty life. An extraordinarily shitty childhood. Her mother is the reason that people should need a license before being allowed to reproduce. But it seemed to me like she has accepted her weight to be the reason for her unhappiness in life and the book is more like a pity party than a "alright, that blew, but this is me and I love me" kind of book. I really had a hard time getting through it in the end.
