Growing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina was raised in one of the most unforgiving times to be a girl: the early 2000s. Grappling with the era's body shaming and blatant sexism while dealing with a growing body of her own, she had to learn to navigate a world where internet trolls were a given, fancying her was declared a fetish and starving herself was actively encouraged by her GP.

As she grew a little older and wider, Gina started to embrace her fatness. With candour, heart and humour, she invites us to rethink beauty standards, fatphobic culture - and ourselves - and shows how fat and female liberation go hand in hand. Exploring sexuality and relationships, appetite and indulgence, this is an empowering ode to living a life without sacrificing a single ounce of pleasure.

Co-host of The Polyester Podcast with Ione Gamble, Gina Tonic has been named one to watch for 2025 by Sunday Times Style and 'the writer and editor empowering a generation of fat babes' by Dazed.©2025 Gina Tonic (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Biographies & Memoirs Personal Development Self-Esteem Funny Witty

This has got to be one of the best books to come out this year!! The talk of fat lib, a deep dive into growing up fat and all troubles that brings growing up and into adulthood and beyond. Such a good listen.

What a read/listen!!

Slow to start but it got better as it went along. Funny because I’m from the valleys so know the areas, do know what the author goes through. It’s well worth listening too but a short story for the money.

Not worth £7.99

This is a book with several powerful themes around fatness packaged in accessible, relatable and funny personal stories of growing up fat and what that means in adult life. Whilst not a glorification of fatness, it is nice to hear a balanced look which includes actually liking your fat body at times.
This is something I would revisit as a more than helpful reminder that I'm not alone in battling the endless self critical thought, that im not the only one sort of confused as to what everyone's beef actually is with fat people and that I'm not brave because I'm a confident fat person, I'm just a gob shite northern girl who happens to be fat.

an interesting look into fatness
