Thin Is the New Happy Audiobook

" Really good. If you've ever had "issues" or know people who have...you'll relate to this memoir. And really, Stacy London shows up (and is a close friend of the author), so how can you not love it? A quick read, but I enjoyed it. "

" This was an ok read for me. It is not something I would read again. There were parts that made me think/remember things about my own life but nothing that made me think differently about food. "

" The author is so obsessed with her weight I want to shake her! All women do at some point, but come one! It is an all day thing with her. Besides that, her narrative was snarky and kind of witty. "

" Amen, sista! Laughed and nodded my head too many times to count. "

" Valerie Frankel does a great job of highlighting the effects that body image has on our lives. It is not enough to just say that you are going to lose weight, you need to start by making changes from the inside out. Anybody who has ever struggled with weight issues will find a part of themselves in this book. "

" I can totally relate to this! "

" Verified that yes, it's all my mothers fault :o) "

" Frankel grew up in the same NJ town as me and went to high school with my older siblings. The accounts of the mean junior high kids totally hit home. I liked this book -- really interesting reading about someone's struggles with weight and how they made peace with their (thinner) body. "

" Excellent book. This is a must-read for anyone who has struggled with body image issues. Enlightening! "

" This is an interesting memoir about body image and did hold my attention throughout, nothing ground breaking but perhaps stuff you need to remind yourself. I did enjoy the parts about how to redesign your wardrobe. "

" Could definitely relate to the weight issues; not the family issues. A good memoir about how body image can control your life if you let it. "

" Great read! Frankel's brutal honesty is amazing. Anyone that has suffered from poor body image (what woman hasn't) can relate to her struggles. "

" I very much related to this woman's experience, not in every detail perhaps, but I think her experience may be common to many women in our society. I hope that I can accomplish the goal of coming to peace with my body and my appearance, and begin to care for it with love instead of criticism. "

" Love this book!! It inspired me to take a look at how I view myself and my diet mentality. Love Ms. Frankel's smart ass style of writing! "

" This book has begun a new journey for me. I will be joining a gym, I will be stopping freaking out about every bite that enters my mouth and I will be buying this book. Loved it and should be read by every woman out there! "

" Not a super funny book, but an interesting read. Makes you think about your own issues with weight and body image. "

" I loved this. This book was so insightful about body image and what's important in life. "

" I enjoyed this memoir and reading about how the author overcame her issues with body image. Any woman can relate to the author's struggle. "

" Memoir as well as insightful social commentary. If you've ever looked in the mirror and been unhappy with your reflection, you will appreciate this funny, well-written book. The author is a writer of some renown on the magazine circuit as well as in many other genres. "

" Very honest autobiography of the author's battle against her weight since her pre teen years. A light read and a true but sad indication of how women view their bodies and aspire to be thinner - with the thought that being thin equates to happiness. "

" This is a quick, fun read which I could sadly relate to in parts... I found some of the book LOL funny, but other parts I felt like the author just belabored. The whole bit on her experience with Stacy London was just too long and too much. But overall, an enjoyable read that I'd recommend. "

" Didn't care much for the language. Lots of swearing and crude comments. Couldn't make past chapter 4 or so. "
