When Jes Baker started creating her own ads mocking Abercrombie & Fitch and showing body positivity, people started paying attention. Building on this, Baker became known as an outspoken advocate for body positivity and acceptance. In this memoir, she writes about growing up as a fat girl, dating as a fat girl, and more. Baker is completely honest about herself and her opinions, and sometimes has some pretty funny observations.
I liked this book, although I found it was easier to read a chapter or two, put the book down, and come back to it. It's not a straight timeline-memoir, and jumps around a little, so reading it like a series of essays made it more digestable. The book has a very conversational tone, and maybe it would be better if I had listened to the audiobook?
