Books like F*ck Your Diet: And Other Things My Thighs Tell Me

I had a perfect body once. I was 5. And ever since, I've been consumed with trying to fit in--literally and metaphorically. In this hilarious and timely essay collection, comedian and writer Chlo� Hilliard recounts the many terrible, laughable and insane approaches to health, weight loss, and self-worth that she and many Americans have taken in an effort to fit in. From a childhood filled with sugar and chocolate syrup (and very few grocery stores nearby), failed push-up tests, and the unhealthy free lunch program to an adulthood of fad diets, dangerous wellness trends, and expensive quick fixes, Chlo� has been through it all--and so have many of us. With wit, charm, and research, the comedian and former journalist relates her experiences to America's f**ked relationship with beauty at large. Perfect for fans of Issa Rae, Phoebe Robinson, and Aziz Ansari, F*ck Your Diet discusses race, self-image, pop culture, feminism, and unclean steam rooms in a hysterical, smart blend you'll never forget.
