Absolutely required reading for anyone looking to deconstruct their fat-hatred. Aubrey is a clear and entertaining writer with tons of citations for further reading, and each chapter ends with some reflection questions or calls to action. Read with a pencil in hand.

I do think that structurally, the book could have been improved by combining some of the chapters. It's tough to have a longer, scientifically-based debunking chapter with lots of citations followed up by one or two more social-emotional ones, which are just as important but are often noticeably shorter and tougher to base in anything more substantial than "this is clearly very mentally harmful." There are a few of them that could have been combined into one more impactful chapter but clearly got broken apart to hit 20 myths.

Thank you Beacon and Edelweiss for the ARC!
