Description
Jennifer Carpenter dreams of being a different person – A person with confidence, a person with beauty, a person who weighs a heck of a lot less.
At twenty-seven, her world falls apart. She’s out of work, her mother has died, her estranged brother is in a coma and, despite good qualifications, each and every job interview ends in another rejection. Marked by the teasing, taunts, and fat jokes that defined her childhood, Jennifer blames her current lack of success on her ever-growing waist band.
In need of a change, Jennifer puts her dream of ‘skinny’ above all else. Obsessed with this mission, she devotes her life to becoming the ideal version of herself even if it means becoming alienated from the only people who love her. Determined to lose the weight she believes is ruining her life, Jennifer finds herself in danger of losing so much more.
Advance Praise
“The entire text is wholly cathartic for both the protagonist and the reader. This book is exceptionally and intuitively written. Raw, emotional, and witty too!" - The Miscellaneous Mom Blog
"I loved this book.....I read it in one afternoon, I couldn't put it down!!" Bree H (Amazon Reviewer)
“This book is also a testament to how much negative self-talk can destroy your life, how important it is to be positive, and how much of a difference having a great support system in your life (whether it be through family, friends, etc.) can be ... this book does a great job of exemplifying the fact that no one is perfect, and I think in the end, what matters most is that you learn from your mistakes.” - Fairyburger Blog
"An emotionally charged journey to self-awareness/discovery and healing!!" - Amazon Customer
"This is such a great book! It was so personal to me, I felt like the book was telling my life. I have been telling everyone about this book even before I was finished reading it!" - birdie (Amazon Reviewer)
"This book took my breath away. Jenn was me several years ago. Her struggle with looking outside herself to find happiness is so well described within the pages of this book ... the weight issues she faced were really just the impetus for discovering that if you don't find the happiness within your self it makes no difference what you weigh, or how beautiful your shell is." - Kindle Customer
