About this listen

 A NOTE FROM JEN LANCASTER:

"To whom the fat rolls...I'm tired of books where a self-loathing heroine is teased to the point where she starves herself skinny in hopes of a fabulous new life. And I hate the message that women can't possibly be happy until we all fit into our skinny jeans. I don't find these stories uplifting; they make me want to hug these women and take them out for fizzy champagne drinks and cheesecake and explain to them that until they figure out their insides, their outsides don't matter. Unfortunately, being overweight isn't simply a societal issue that can be fixed with a dose healthy of positive self-esteem. It's a health matter, and here on the eve of my fortieth year, I've learned I have to make changes so I don't, you know, die. Because what good is finally being able to afford a pedicure if I lose a foot to adult onset diabetes?"

No plot, super negative, waste of a credit.

The book is difficult to follow as there’s no clear plot defined until approximately halfway through. It’s mostly musings of a woman’s disordered obsession with food. She thinly disguises borderline cruelty and negativity as sarcasm and humor. While claiming she doesn’t care what others think, the snarky attitude demonstrated throughout the book demonstrates otherwise and makes the writer completely unlikable.

She spends the majority of the book judging everyone else by their appearances without an ounce of insight about herself. I don’t find a woman who doesn’t know how to adult at nearly 40 interesting or worthy of empathy. The narcissism is rampant and not enjoyable. I wouldn’t recommend this and will avoid this author moving forward.
