In this memoir, the author struggles with overeating his entire life. It is well written and captures his struggles clearly. What was sad about this book is that the end shows his journey is clearly not at an end. I enjoyed reading about his upbringing as well as his adulthood.
I don't even know fully how to describe this. It's like Diary of a Wimpy Kid mixed with the Carter series in a private Boston all girls school. Sounds like a good idea at the time, right? Either I've blocked out a lot of high school, or teenage girls are really vulgar. That's really all I could take out of this - privileged girls being catty and terrible to each other in only occasionally funny situations. Not really the best way to line things up. Yeah, it's a story about friendship. About being yourself. About appreciating what you have. Unfortunately, that message gets lost behind a lot of noise and nonsense, and that's kind of too bad. I'd love to see this tried in a different way, I think. Meanwhile, I'll just think back about how awesome The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks was in terms of the private school girl story.
Seruuuu banget, Q suka cela - celaannya, hehehe
