Finally, the feminist murder mystery/makeover story we've been waiting for. --O, The Oprah Magazine
A thrilling, incendiary manifesto disguised as a beach read.
--Entertainment WeeklyRead Dietland ... not only because it's smart and timely but because it's heartbreaking and tragic and very very comic. Sarai Walker is some kind of twisted sister. And of course I mean that as the highest possible compliment. --Sara Nelson, Top Picks for the Best Books of May

, part feminist manifesto, an offbeat and genre-bending novel that aims high-and delivers. --Kirkus, starred reviewDietland is genuinely disturbing, surprising, and refreshingly angry - it encapsulates a wide array of feminist issues from pornography to fat positivity to body image to the objectification of women's bodies.
--New York MagazineA very entertaining feminist revenge fantasy with a kernel of fury - I can't recall reading anything quite like it before. --The Bookseller - Editor's Choice
Dietland is a funny, subversive novel which takes aim at the weight-loss industry and our obsession with rigid standards of beauty, but at its heart there is a kernel of fury at what is done to women by men.
--The BooksellerThe wickedly funny feminist revenge fantasy debut novel we've all been waiting for.
'A call to arms. Devious, subversive, delightful' Alice Sebold
Plum Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you're fat, to be noticed is to be judged. Or mocked. Or worse.
But when a mysterious woman starts following her, Plum finds herself involved with an underground community of women who live life on their own terms. At the same time, a dangerous guerrilla group called "Jennifer" begins to terrorize a world that mistreats women. As Plum grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot, the consequences of which are explosive.
Part coming-of-age story, part revenge fantasy, Dietland is a bold, original and funny debut that takes on the beauty industry, gender equality and our weight loss obsession - from the inside out, and with fists flying.
