I gave this 4 stars originally but now I take it back. There were some good things in here, but now I’m seeing how it came with a side of toxic positivity, race & class privilege, and fat-phobia, to start with. (The idea that “cheating” on a diet makes a person untrustworthy is straight up diet culture BS, hard pass.) Plus the more I’ve learned about the author since the less I want to take advice from her.

I read this after watching the show—I had to know mire about Penelope, since she is clearly the best.
