Blogger Gibbons (brittanyherself.com) has struggled with her weight and body image her whole life. She's been teased, picked on, and judged for her size. Not liking any of her career options, she started a blog in which she writes about size, body image, and her role as a mother and wife. As the blog's popularity grew, she pitched an idea for a press tour that involved standing in New York's Times Square wearing only her bathing suit. Because of her willingness to be a curvy girl who takes off her clothes in public, she has started to change the conversation about body image from fat-shaming to body acceptance and has begun to overcome personal adversity. Through her role as Internet spokesmodel for women everywhere, Gibbons has learned to love her body and be comfortable in her own skin. VERDICT This memoir provides an honest look into one woman's struggle with her weight and body image. More than that, it shows women of all shapes and sizes how to accept themselves and others for who they are. Laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest, Gibbons's account is sure to please fans of Jen Lancaster and Laurie Notaro.—Kristen Calvert Nelson, Marion Cty. P.L. Syst., Ocala, FL
