13 ways of looking at a fat girl

Awad, Mona (author.).

Summary: Darkly funny and deeply resonant, this novel maps a young woman's journey from a fat adolescence to an ex-fat adulthood. Lizzie has never liked the way she looks. So she starts to lose weight. She counts calories consumed, miles logged, pounds lost, raw almonds eaten - she even undertakes an epic battle with a von Furstenberg. But no matter how much weight she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad simultaneously skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical appearance and delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform.
