Publisher's Synopsis
Growing up in a suburban hell Lizzie has never liked the way she looks. She starts dating guys online, but she's afraid to send pictures. So she starts to lose weight. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? A brilliant, hilarious and at times shocking debut about our body image-obsessed culture.
