13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad
Growing up in suburban hell, Lizzie has never liked the way she looks. A darkly funny novel about the harmful beauty standards imposed on women.
In subject and voice, there are echoes of Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman and Janice Galloway's The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, but neither has the wit of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl * Irish Times *
Luminous.. Full of sharp insight and sly humour -- Katherine Heiny
[A] beautiful, necessary book -- Roxane Gay
Honest, searing, and necessary... 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl peels back the curtain on the struggles of entering womanhood from body image, to relationships, to merely navigating the oh-so-cruel world * Elle *
Awad deftly captures the many indignities that she – that women – experience around food and weight... Simultaneously tart and tender, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl is stunning * Washington Post *
Shocking, sad, important and tender; this is a powerful rollercoaster of a read * Daily Mail *
[A] clever debut... The themes may be sobering but Awad examines them with a deliciously wry humour * Mail on Sunday *
