Finished this book last night and I honestly hated to read that last page. I didn't want to be done getting to know the author! Andie Mitchell's memoir about her life, difficult upbringing, struggle with weight, relationships and finally how she found her way will make you feel like you can call her up after reading that last page because you have known her forever. If you have ever had anyone call you fat, ugly or any other derogatory term, Andie's story will sting at times as you remember your own difficult moments growing up. Her candor in her writing really makes you get inside her struggle to show a brave face and a smile while she was crumbling on the inside. She eventually came out on the other side of food addiction and depression and, from what I have read and seen on interviews, she seems like an absolute ray of sunshine. Her blog, Can You Stay For Dinner, is a plethora of delicious and healthy recipes, stories and weight loss tips. Both the book and the blog are worth taking some time to get to read as you get to know the author, get some wonderful tips and read a soul searching story about the life of a very inspiring person.
