Okay, so this started out as a completely unintentional read for me. I picked it up after I catalogued it for the library, because I needed something to read during lunch, and proceeded to spend the rest of my afternoon with Ever and Skinny. I think is book is perfect for anyone who might struggle with any type of image issues. It's important to remember that your biggest obstacle is always going to be yourself. As someone who has struggled with image for a long time (and someone who is a bigger girl), this book was a great read for me, and I'm happy I didn't do anything else at work this afternoon.
