I kept putting this book down to go look up the things the essayists were talking about, that's how good and helpful this book is. It's mind-blowing, even if you're aware of fat activism already, when you really take the plunge and start reading unapologetic fats sharing stories like yours and talking about how they started down their path of liberation. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the different perspectives that this book had to offer. The women had very different experiences with their weight throughout their lives. Some gave messages of positivity, some admitted they still struggle with accepting their weight. But the overall message of this book was to love yourself and your body, no matter your size or shape. We do live in a society that prizes a very specific body shape and to be outside that "norm" can be very difficult for many people.
