Book Reviews of The Weight-Loss Diaries
Book Review: A Must Read for All Young Women
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book, written with such honesty and humor. For anyone who has struggled with weight loss and gain or with any self esteem issues, it will definitely strike a chord. You won't feel so alone after reading blow by blow what someone else has been through. Not only do you get helpful insight about exercising and avoiding crash diets, but the book also focuses on all the stressors young women have to face during their teens, twenties, and thirties. The author talks about the difficulties of balancing one's independence with fitting into old roles/routines that families and friends expect of us. This book really ought to be used by all-female book groups because it will spark a lot of discussion. I've already recommended it to my sister, mother, co-worker, and co-worker's daughter.Most of all, Rubin's writing style is just plain funny! And as a woman from Generation X, I enjoyed a lot of the details the author included--things like reading the Ramona the Pest books or the reading about the Sweet Valley High twins.
