Followers of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will like this collection of laugh-out-loud funny and insightful essays that explore race, feminism, pop lifestyle, and how society reinforces the message that people are nothing without an ideal body.

By enough time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12—both footwear and dress—and stood over six feet tall. Fitted in was hardly ever a choice. That didn’t end her from attempting. Cursed having a “slow rate of metabolism,” “baby fat,” and “big bones,”—the excess fat trilogy—Chloe considered fad diets, hunger, pills, and exercises, which failed.

The perfect mix of cultural commentary, conspiracies, and confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun in the all too familiar, misguided search for better health, permanent weight loss, and a feeling of self-worth.
