I kept putting this book down to go look up the things the essayists were talking about, that's how good and helpful this book is. It's mind-blowing, even if you're aware of fat activism already, when you really take the plunge and start reading unapologetic fats sharing stories like yours and talking about how they started down their path of liberation. Highly recommended.

Amazing! Empowering reading from cover to cover. Made me think, laugh, cry, and question my attitude to so many things.

This was... good. I really enjoyed a few of the essays, and was less than in love with others. I'm generally not a huge fan of explicit sexual content, but that's probably more of a me issue than a book issue. In particular, I loved Virgie Tovar's (the editor's) 2 pieces in this collection. Averaged out at about 3 stars for me.

Re-read this again over the past month and was reminded of how powerful and necessary it still is. It has given me some much needed confidence again when I’ve been faltering. The stories here are definitely fierce, strong and vulnerable, and fabulously joyful too. Recommend this to anyone who needs confidence, a dose of fierce fat self love, and some healing.

I would really give this 3.5 stars, but I can see how someone not familiar with the fat acceptance movement would give it more. I've been feeling quite bad about myself of late, and I feel like reading this have me a little boost, at least, but it wasn't anything eye-opening (for me! Others in the beginning of their body acceptance journey will probably get more milage!).

Very useful for my self-esteem as a fat girl. However, being fierce, aggressive and sensual is just not what I do (size or no size), and the book barely explores the paths of quiet girls to self-acceptance.
