Barson![]() ![]() I don't know the pain and self-loathing the main character feels as she fails repeatedly in her attempts to lose weight, only to let herself down time after time, in a self-sabotaging, vicious cycle of emotionally eating yet another slice of cheesecake that she can't even taste. I don't know what it is like to have a perfectionist mother, who is constantly trying to put their daughter on a diet plan since before their age even reached two digits. ![]() I don't know the mortification of trying on a dress a few sizes too small and then, horror of all horrors, becoming stuck in it. I don't know what it's like to experience snide comments about one's weight from a complete stranger. ![]() I'm not going to insult the main character of this book by saying, "I empathize with her." I cannot. The ability to understand and share the feelings of another. ![]()
