    Summary note
    • "Fans of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will love this collection of laugh-out-loud funny and insightful essays that explore race, feminism, pop culture, and how society reinforces the message that we are nothing without the perfect body"-- Provided by publisher.
    • By the time Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12-- both shoe and dress-- and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an option. She turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workouts, all of which failed. Hillard decided to change her outlook on herself-- rehabilitating her body image by detaching from food as an emotional crutch, and developing her own sense of self worth. Here she pokes fun at the all too familiar misguided quest for the 'perfect body.' -- adapted from jacket
