13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT A FAT GIRL - MONA AWAD KA...

"Stunning...As you watch Lizzie navigate fraught relationships - with food  men  girlfriends 
her parents and even with herself - you'll want to grab a friend and say: 'Whoa. This.
Exactly.'" -Washington Post  "A hilarious  heartbreaking book." -People  Named one of the best
books of the year by NPR  The Atlantic  Time Out New York  and The Globe and Mail  Growing up
in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga)  Lizzie has never liked the way she
looks-even though her best friend Mel says she's the pretty one. She starts dating guys online
but she's afraid to send pictures  even when her skinny friend China does her makeup: she knows
no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose. With punishing drive
she counts almonds consumed  miles logged  pounds dropped. She fights her way into coveted
dresses. She grows up and gets thin  navigating double-edged validation from her mother  her
friends  her husband  her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much 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. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking  13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl
introduces a vital new voice in fiction.  WINNER OF THE AMAZON CANADA FIRST NOVEL AWARD
