My rating: 4.5*
Genre I reckon: Self-help
Now, you may have noticed, I've been using my blog to do the journal assignments in this book.
There's a lot of journal entries to complete but that's the beauty of this book - it makes you actively think and assess your mindset.
Now, there's an obvious target market - the clue's in the title.
However, anyone with body issues can find benefit in this book, regardless of size or gender.
"It is not your job to be pretty" is a core belief here - sound advice for all, right?
The first half gives you background of the author's journey along with advice before setting tasks for you. This is a voice of experience, people.
The second half details daily meditations. Every single day for a year, there's a different thought for the day - something to think about or do, all aimed at helping you improve your attitude to your body and food.
This is not "I know better because I have all these degrees" advice. No, it's far better. This is KL Montgomery sharing her experience and life knowledge with you. Open, honest truths.
The informal language throughout is fun and feels like a friendly chat - far better than the "do this/that/the other" of a lot of self-help manuals.
Oh, and there's swearing included, so if the f bomb offends, this may not be the book you are looking for (*waves hand in a Jedi stylee*).
There's definitely some things I will personally take from this book which will help me on my own body positive journey.
So, if you've got a less than friendly self-dialogue going on, grab this book with both hands.
It's even in KU as I write this - a whole year's worth of book fro free. Even at £5 it's a bargain.
If you get the paperback, there's pages included for your journal assignments btw.
If you do one good thing for yourself this month/year, buy this book!
