A beautiful and brave book (Emma Gannon) that'll relate to any young girl on a journey to loving themselves.

Hilarious and a timely look at women and our bodies - Juno Dawson

Honest, rebellious and completely refreshing - Fearne Cotton

Charli Howard grew up thinking that she wasn't good enough. She wasn't pretty enough. She wasn't rich enough. She wasn't thin enough. Fitting in wasn't exactly easy. Looking at the smiling girls in magazines, she came to the obvious conclusion— to be accepted, she had to be 'perfect'. She had to be a model.

But what magazines don't tell you is that you can't Photoshop your problems away, and they can Photoshop a lot. So, when you're the thinnest you've ever been, your agency fires you, and you're battling anxiety and an eating disorder to boot, how do you get through it? You get angry, go viral, and discover that, after all that, you're not alone. At least that's what Charli did.

About the Author

Charli Howard is a model and body positivity ambassador.
