"Stunning...As you watch Lizzie navigate fraught relationships -- with food, men, girlfriends, her parents and even with herself -- you'll want to grab a friend and say: 'Whoa. This. Exactly.'" --Washington Post "A hilarious, heartbreaking book." --People Named one of the best books of the year by NPR, The Atlantic, Time Out New York, and The Globe and MailGrowing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga), Lizzie has never liked the way she looks--even though her best friend Mel says she's the pretty one. She starts dating guys online, but she's afraid to send pictures, even when her skinny friend China does her makeup: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose. With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She fights her way into coveted dresses. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl? In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad simultaneously skewers the body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical appearance, and delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl introduces a vital new voice in fiction.

Great, snug on arms if you have bigger arms
Color: Red Navy Gingham, Size: Large
I had no issues with the fit as it was true to size. Large is snug on the arms if you have bigger arms.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Great Fit and Style for Casual Nights Out
Color: Navy Gingham, Size: Large
Use case: Casual wear, transitional weather
👕 Fit & Feel
I’m really impressed with the cut of this shirt — it’s slim fit, but still relaxed and comfortable enough for casual settings. I prefer to wear it untucked, and it lays just right for a clean, stylish look.
🎨 Style & Material
Color and pattern are on point, making it versatile for evenings out.
The high cotton content feels soft, though I’ve avoided using a dryer to prevent shrinkage.
Fabric is breathable and suitable for transitional weather — not too heavy, not too light.
✅ Final Thoughts
Overall, this is a stylish and comfortable shirt that looks great and fits well for taller builds. I’d definitely order more in different patterns.

Nice color, lightweight, but runs small
Color: Blue Gingham, Size: Large
Nice cookie and can be work tucked or untucked. The material isn’t best quality but it’s about as expected for a shirt this price range. The size runs small so buy a size up from what you normally do. Expect some shrinkage is well. Otherwise it’s a nice shirt!

Not the best fit
Color: Navy Gingham, Size: XX-Large
I like the design and color of the shirt. It runs small, I went up a whole size and the shoulder width is still a little tight. The fabric is also has small fibers all over it.
