A review by hannaels
All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot by Lucinda 'Froomes' Price

5.0

THIS is the type of book every woman should read in their lifetime. I am blown away by the relevance and exposure of my own bias this has made me think about.
it’s such a good critique of old media and television programs and adds. i had forgotten how horriffic early 2000s tv was and yet it was so normal?? Every person that reads this will relate to one thing or another. A beautifully written, well researched and humorous tale on growing up as a woman and learning to love and cherish your body.
Froomes depicted the early Australian childhood/primary school scene so well - i felt nostalgic. Then the later chapters provided such a unique and thought provoking insight into fatphobia and how it’s lingering presence in society continues to reign terror and damage us all.

I highly highly recommend. The audiobook felt like listening to a very well educated friend rant. I will be thinking about this for a long time. 10/10
