Reviews
"Meltzer writes movingly of her own struggles with having a body, but her experiment isn't the exclusive focus of the book: It also chronicles the life of Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch, whose vaudevillian comic timing, retrograde ideas about fat and happiness, and unconcealed desire for fame and connection make her a fascinating subject." -- Vox, "[This] brilliant book tells the story of thinness obsession through the lives of two women-Jean Nidetch, the founder of Weight Watchers, and Meltzer herself." -- Glamour, "If you've ever been critical of diets, diet companies, and diet culture in the past, you're going to love what Meltzer has to offer here." -- Bustle, "In this memoir-nonfiction hybrid, Meltzer skillfully blends her own extensive dieting history with the life story of Jean Nidetch, the Queens housewife who founded Weight Watchers in 1963 and helped to create "diet culture" as we know it today." -- Vogue, "A triumphant chronicle... Meltzer has created singular companionate text for those who know the agony of frustration surrounding weight as an issue, both personal and political. Acerbic, culturally astute and genuine, [Meltzer] makes exquisite company in the struggle." -- New York Times, "Meltzer looks at her own pursuit of weight loss and uses it to illuminate our culture's relentless focus on thinness." -- Washington Post, "Meltzer is such a smart skeptic of Glossier's myth and such a sharp analyst of the ways in which the brand is a barometer of broader trends." -- Washington Post "Meltzer emphasizes the entrepreneurial savvy of the brand's founder, Emily Weiss, who blogged in the mornings before her internship at Vogue and eventually secured funding from the same venture capital firm as Apple and Google, turning Glossier into the rare billion-dollar company helmed by a woman." -- New York Times , 33 Nonfiction Books to Read This Fall "It's an extremely balanced (yet delightfully juicy) look at the booming beauty business, the cutthroat startup space, and the compelling era of the Girlboss. " - Nylon "I could not put this book down... It's a dishy (albeit well-reported) examination of the 'girl boss era' and is a compulsively readable book." -- NBC Select "A meticulous feat of beauty reporting." - Airmail "Glossy tells a great business story... but it's also the story of a captivating, yet fairly unknowable, person." -- Puck "This is the rare business book that's actually fun to read." -- Vulture , 24 Books We Can't Wait to Read This Fall "[A] delicious character portrait of Glossier visionary Emily Weiss... The book bursts with expansive interviews, from ex-Glossier employees, fashion visionaries, and Weiss herself." -- Bustle , 35 Best New Books of Fall 2023 "A piquant, deeply reported history of the brand." -- Vanity Fair "A bombshell exposé and study of corporate feminism that reveals for the first time what exactly has gone down at Glossier under the leadership of Emily Weiss." -- The Millions , Most Anticipated 2023 "Meltzer's reporting is fantastic... I devoured this." --Grace Atwood, The Stripe "A striking attempt to capture the founder as a human in all her complexity, operating within a system that leaves little room for failure and is quick to criticize." --Emily Singer, Chips + Dips Substack "Multi-tasks as highly readable brand memoir, founder manual and 21st century history of the business of beauty." --Navaz Batliwalla, Disneyrollergirl "Delivering behind-the-scenes intel... a beauty and fashion tell-all." --Booklist "Lean-in-style feminists and fashionistas alike will revel in the rise of this woman-led business." -- Publishers Weekly, " This is Big ...[finds] in Nidetch both a genuine pioneer - a woman who built a massive culture-defining business at a time when women couldn't even have their own credit cards - and a representative of many ideas about weight and health that are as destructive as they are enduring." -- Vanity Fair, "This heartfelt, incisive book layers the story of Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch with the author's own lifelong journey through various fad diets. What emerges is a surprising portrait of a remarkable but little-known life in business, as well as a thoughtful critique of America's obsession with thinness." -- Esquire, "Not a memoir of radical self-acceptance or saccharine inspiration, but a candid - at times dark - look at what it means to be an overweight woman in 2020." -- Los Angeles Times
