A short but blunt memoir. The author states clearly at the beginning that this is no "Happy Ending" story. That she was fat and still is and no man came and swept her off her feet after she slimmed to a thin size. This book is raw and real and almost hard to read because of how [no matter your size] easy it is to relate to how she feels about her body.

This book is as real as it gets with body talk. Her descriptions of living encased in a fat body are sharp, poignant, sad and familiar. Her descriptions of food will make your mouth water, your stomach growl and your heart ache.

It's an easy, quick and rewarding read.

Favorite Quotes:

1) "Even when I was slender, I was fat". Oh by, does that one resonate painfully true. ( )

i have a feeling that this could have been really good, but it just wasn't.

i kept thinking, well, what about all that? what about it?

the author makes a point to let us know she's not about analyzing - that it's the reader's job - but this book is so clearly unfinished, the ending so carelessly chopped, that it makes me afraid of her other books. ( )

Darkly funny, but incredibly sad. ( )

This is a sad, sad autobiography. It is the story of a girl nobody loved, who grew up without the security of knowing that unconditional love could be found somewhere- not from parents, grandparents, or siblings. Moore grew up in an angry, loveless family. Whether implicit or explicit, Moore is reminded at every turn that as the fat girl she deserves all of the misery, hatred, and approbation that comes her way. This is a literary memoir, and one that is bleak and uncompromising. One can't help but hope that at some point Judith the child will get the love and affection that she needs. Alas, that point never comes. Don't expect to be uplifted by this book, but do expect to be affected. ( )
