Book Review of Fat Girl : A True Story

Fat Girl : A True Story
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


This book is terrible. It was like sitting at lunch with your friend who always goes on and on about how fat she is and how everyone hates her for it. I honestly didn't find anything redeeming in it: it's not funny, it's not ground-breaking, and I don't find the author particularly courageous. In fact, it's barely even interesting. It's unredeemed navel-gazing.

I ended up throwing it in the trash so no one else would be subjected to it. I hope I never feel that way about a book again.
