It appears her choppy writing style spread to other topics through most chapters. With each chapter I read, I'd be thinking "Didn't I read this exact same phrase earlier?" It is unfortunate because she has a very important message to send to the general public about size acceptance.I hints am giving this three stars because despite the poor editing job, the topic is a must-read. |

She does an amazing job of explaining how big business exploits our insecurity about our bodies to make tons of money. If you enjoyed trecision Laura Fraser's book Losing It, trecision you'll love Terry Poulton's book, too. Was this review helpful to you?

Several times throughout the first chapter, many pages apart, she'd introduce Twiggy as if it were the first time she ever spoke about it. |
