About the book
Lizzie is unhappy with her appearance and avoids sending photos while dating online because she believes no one wants a overweight girl.
To change this, Lizzie decides to lose weight. She meticulously counts the almonds she eats and monitors the pounds she sheds, facing conflicting feedback from her mother, friends, husband, and her own reflection. Despite her efforts, will Lizzie be able to see herself in a different light?
In this humorous yet poignant novel, Mona Awad explores the challenges faced by a woman whose self-image dominates her life.
