A fantastic biography and story of her struggle and then acceptance of being, well, fat. She's a great comedienne and a good writer as well. I enjoyed this very much!

I really enjoyed this book. I watched Camryn Manheim on The Practice and became a fan of hers. I knew she was a very talented actress but didn't realize she can write too. This book was very easy to read as she wrote it like she was having a conversation with the reader. I liked how she was upfront about some of the struggles she has faced. I also liked how she added in humor as that likely helped her deal with some situations. I highly recommend this book.
