Thin is the New Happy
Author: Valerie Frankel

Reviewer: Tanya Carr, SWC Librarian

I would have assumed by the title of this book, Thin is the New Happy, that this would be another diet "revelation" to help us poor women struggle through another regime, only to fail. On the contrary, Frankel poignantly takes us through a memoir of self-discovery. She shares with readers her first experience with dieting at the mere age of 11, uncovers the truth about her lifelong weight-loss struggle, and shares with us how she ultimately overcame her struggle.
