Description

'Greedy Guts gorgeously, excessively over-delivers. Charming, radical, funny and intimate' BETHANY RUTTER

'Savvy, hilarious and straight to the point' ALICE SLATER

'Greedy Guts is a revelation - it's a book that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure'
IONE GAMBLE

Nobody talks about the nuances of life as a fat woman. To navigate friendship, careers, sex and chairs with handles in a body bigger than those around you.

Growing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina Tonic was raised in one of the most unforgiving times to be a girl: the early 2000s. Grappling with the era's body shaming and blatant sexism while dealing with a growing body of her own, Gina had to learn to navigate a world where internet trolls were a given, fancying her was declared a fetish and starving herself was actively encouraged by her GP.

As she grew a little older and wider, Gina started to embrace her fatness. With candour, heart and humour, she invites us to rethink beauty standards, fatphobic culture - and ourselves - and shows how fat and female liberation go hand in hand. Exploring sexuality and relationships, appetite and indulgence, this is an empowering ode to living a life without sacrificing a single ounce of pleasure.

I have followed Gina (and quite a few of the pals she mentions in her book) for years on social media and when I saw that she was releasing a book I immediately requested an ARC. I love Gina’s writing style and see so much of my own life experiences in this book - I loved it. I spent most of a Saturday afternoon lying in bed and absolutely devouring every page. It felt like chatting with a good mate and putting the world to rights.
