While I appreciate the book's aim to challenge misconceptions about fat people, it wasn't quite what I expected. Rather than offering personal narratives or relatable stories, the book reads more like a collection of academic essays, heavily centered on research, facts, and figures. This scholarly approach, while informative, lacked the personal touch I was looking for. If you're seeking a fact-based, research-heavy read on this topic, this book could be a great fit. However, for those hoping for more personal insights or anecdotes, it might not meet expectations.
