    About this audiobook

    FAT

    Cookie Vonn’s dreams include getting out of Phoenix and becoming the next great fashion designer. But in the world of fashion, being fat is a cardinal sin. It doesn’t help that she’s constantly compared to her supermodel mother—and named after a dessert.

    Cookie scores a trip to New York to pitch her design portfolio, but her plans are put on standby when she’s declared too fat to fly. When she finally arrives, she finds she’s been replaced by her ultrathin rival. Cookie vows to lose weight, get out of the friend zone with her crush, and put her dreams back on track.

    SKINNY

    Cookie expected sunshine and rainbows, but nothing about her new life is turning out like she planned. When the fashion designer of the moment offers her what she’s always wanted—an opportunity to live and study in New York—she finds herself in a world full of people more interested in putting women down than dressing them up. Her designs make waves, but her real dream of creating great clothes for people of all sizes seems to grow more distant by the day. Will she realize that she’s always had the power to make her own dreams come true?

      I did not love this.

      Cons:
      *Marketed as a YA, but doesn't really feel like one, just because the plot flashes back to high school half of the time, doesn't make it YA.
      *Power imbalance--I can't be the only one who sees big red flags with the fact that she is sleeping with her 11-12 year older "boss/intern advisor" designer Gareth Miller. Helloooo, ick.
      *For a book that is supposed to be soooo body positive (see Twitter) Cookie sure hates herself for 95% of it.
      *Product placement--thinly veiled Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, Vita-water.

      Pros:
      *Ms. deVos writes with the real voice of someone who has struggled with weight and all the societal issues that entails.

      I really wanted more from this book after hearing all the hype.
    • 1/5
      To say that I am highly disappointed in this book is probably an understatement.I was expecting a book about body positivity, of fashion for all sizes, of seeing the main character realize that she doesn't have to have a perfect body to have a good life. Instead, for 98% of the book, all I got was a bunch of fat-phobia and disordered eating patterns and beliefs. The very last chapter tries to rectify the situation a bit, but it was way too little, too late for me.The book starts out with Cookie Vonn, daughter of a well-known supermodel, being too fat to fly. Humiliated, she decides to lose weight and goes on a Weight Watchers-esque dieting program - and it works. She loses two hundred pounds and is now a size six. The chapters go back and forth from "fat" Cookie to the "new and improved" Cookie.One of the few things that I liked about the book was that the author showed that Cookie's life didn't miraculously become better overnight just because she was skinnier. She still had problems. But the book is so full of Cookie's disordered thinking about food and dieting and life (until the very end) that I just couldn't get into it or recommend reading the book in general. I've long given up on diets and have been a Giver of Zero Fucks for quite some time, and even I was having a hard time living in Cookie's head. She meticulously counts everything she eats (she can only have a certain number of almonds for a snack or croutons in her salad, for example), and that made me think back to when that was my life, too - and I didn't like being put back into that headspace over and over again.So many of the relationships in this book are toxic. Thin Cookie, who states that she still feels like the fat girl who was too fat to fly, is immediately attracted to someone (Gareth) who is cracking jokes about fat women almost from the instant they met. What? I can't even imagine finding someone like that attractive, but Cookie seems to fall for him without a moment's hesitation. Maybe "fat jokes" are more acceptable to her now that she isn't fat. Tommy, her best friend and the guy she has a crush on when she's "Fat" Cookie, isn't any better. He takes up with a girl who is ruthlessly bullying Cookie and stands up for that girl instead of his "best friend." He also sets her up to take a fall in a shoplifting ring. MAJORLY NOT COOL. And Grandma? I'm sorry, she's wrong. You shouldn't keep forgiving someone who doesn't stand up for you and allows you to be bullied by his girlfriend. You shouldn't have to keep the family peace and shove down all of your feelings. You shouldn't be forced to attend the funeral of your skeevy step-dad who totally hit on you. None of that is healthy.Cookie is relentlessly fat-phobic throughout the book until the very last chapter. It was incredibly annoying.I'm glad that I got this one from the library - I almost bought a copy!
