Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I found the first two chapters of this book intriguing. The explanation of self-objectification, how it happens, and where it comes from, was fascinating. I’ve read plenty of positive body books, and this was the first time I had heard of this term. However, after the second chapter, things started to fall apart a bit.
While reading this, I was genuinely hoping for education a little deeper than the surface level. This book gave me a new concept to look into (self-objectification), but even then, it didn’t provide me much internal working to do besides take a break from Instagram and stop looking in mirrors for a bit.
Despite the redundancy of the information provided, I still enjoyed this book. I think this book would be a good start for someone who hasn’t had their hands on any of this information before. It provides resources and quotes from other body positivity books, and it’s a good jumping point. If this were my first rodeo, as it were, this would be a fantastic book.
