I first read Shrill a few years ago, and with Lindy set to come to Australia for the recent All About Women festival, I could think of no better time to pick it up again.

This work is still so relevant, so honest and so essential. For me, for every fat person who has ever struggled to fit in an airline seat, for every human who has ever rolled their eyes at having to sit next to the fat person on the plane, for every human. Lindy shows us that empathy, kindness and humour win, every time.
