What a thoughtful book review! I've followed Virginia's writing for a long time but haven't read this book yet. Now I want to! It's such a challenging topic, and I think you did a great job explaining what you agree with and what you questioned from the book. I cringe anytime I hear older family members make weight-related comments in front of my 7-year-old niece because I know those types of comments certainly affected my own body image when I was growing up.
