I think this book is important, especially for your readers. It's one of those books that I wish I had when I was growing up but am glad is existing now. Even as we learn to love the bodies we're in, there is still so much to learn, and books like this one will for sure help us get where we need to!

Hard truth: love that is conditional on how you look isn’t love at all. It’s a form of manipulation, control, and abuse. These things hurt us.

Beauty standards weren’t designed to benefit girls or women— they were designed to control us

Does this cultural idea benefit me and the people I care about?

Nope.
