Mona Awad's New Novel, '13 Ways Of Looking At A Fat Girl'
Resume"13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl" tells the story of Lizzie, a young woman obsessed with the way she looks and how much she weighs.
"'Fat girl' is not so much a problem of flesh," says novelist Mona Awad, "it's more of a state of mind that you can inhabit long after any transformations you make to your body."
