This book is what excellent writing is all about: using juicy life experience to inspire and put something good out into the world. Bravo. It was like talking with a good friend who has great stories and knows how to use her self-awareness to get at something profoundly deeper. The author's particular gift in describing people makes this book so engaging and memorable (I could read an entire book on Uncle Carl alone). She raises fascinating, culturally relevant, thought provoking questions in a humble, straightforward, charming, confident, and just plain inspiring way. Reminded me about being human and I loved it.

I loved this book!
Kim's writing is humorous, dark, poignant, confronting, authentic, and connecting. She doesn't over analyze the back story of her life and you get, without the usual blame game assigned to others in her life, that Kim has figured this out for herself, wrestled with negative assumptions about heavy people and confronted them head on. Often I wanted to stand up and say "bravo, Kim".
If I had a daughter on the verge of adolescence, this would be at the top of my mother-daughter book club. As a woman in my mid 50's, there were take aways from this book that continue to help me learn and grow when it comes to defining one's self through a distorted lens of beauty.
Terrific!

READ MY HIPS is irreverent, honest, laced with humor and jaw-dropping examples of our society's cruel treatment of "fat" people. Her writing is that of someone who's emancipated herself from societal expectations and negative body image. I couldn't help but ask myself as I read this, "How shallow am I?" READ MY HIPS is a bravely written and thoughtful quick-read that I'll be recommending to my book club.
