Dietland 
Plum Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you’re fat, to be noticed is to be judged. Or mocked. Or worse. With her job answering fan mail for a popular teen girls’ magazine, she is biding her time until her weight-loss surgery. Only then can her true life as a thin person finally begin.
Then, when a mysterious woman starts following her, Plum finds herself falling down a rabbit hole and into an underground community of women who live life on their own terms. There Plum agrees to a series of challenges that force her to deal with her past, her doubts, and the real costs of becoming “beautiful.” At the same time, a dangerous guerrilla group called “Jennifer” begins to terrorize a world that mistreats women, and as Plum grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot. The consequences are explosive.
Dietland is a bold, original, and funny debut novel that takes on the beauty industry, gender inequality, and our weight loss obsession—from the inside out, and with fists flying.
This is not the book you think it is. This is not a book about a fat girl. This is not a book about dieting. This is a book about societal change. This is a manifesto that should be read by every feminist, no matter their gender. This is a book that must be discussed. DIETLAND is disturbing. It's supposed to be and it's brilliant.

Before I go all ranty and piss everyone off, I will say the first part of this book is really good.Plum is overweight. That pretty much defines this girls life. She keeps telling herself that her "real life" will begin as soon as she has weight loss surgery and becomes thin. Of course, that's bullshit. But it's what society has taught Plum to feel about herself.She works from her computer for a teen fashion magazine, giving advice to young girls who write the editor of the magazine. Dear
Reading Dietland is indubitably equivalent to walking a mile in the enormous shoes of our nearly thirty year old, three-hundred-four-pound narrator, Plum. Ive never felt that I could genuinely understand a position Ive not actually been in. Until now. This unprecedented presentation of current social issues is more than thought-provoking. It is painful and tragic, with portions that are harsh, raw, and deserving of deliberation. Commanding characters create empathy and sympathy as they

I completely disagree with all the reviews in which readers hated the second half of the book. OMG, the Jennifer activities/terrorist group IS the point!

Yeah that's right - five mother-effing stars. This book spoke to me for the obvious reason but I loved it beyond that. The two story lines worked so nicely together, and all of it made me think about what was happening/between the lines of the book even when I wasn't reading. Time to buy some colorful tights!!This is not the book you think it is. This is not a book about a fat girl. This is not a book about dieting. This is a book about societal change. This is a manifesto that should be read by every feminist, no matter their gender. This is a book that must be discussed. DIETLAND is disturbing. It's supposed to be and it's brilliant.
