''A must-read memoir... Her laugh-out-loud writing has guided a generation of readers towards body confidence'' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE''Charming, radical, funny and intimate'' BETHANY RUTTER''Savvy, hilarious and straight to the point'' ALICE SLATER''Greedy Guts is a revelation - it''s a book that''ll make you laugh and cry in equal measure'' IONE GAMBLE''I love this book so much; it''s so funny and honest in a way that''s really going to kick people in the teeth'' SAMANTHA IRBYNobody talks about the nuances of life as a fat woman. To navigate friendship, careers, sex and chairs with handles in a body bigger than those around you.Growing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina Tonic 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, Gina 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.
