This review is from: Love Your Looks: How to Stop Criticizing and Start Appreciating Your Appearance (Paperback)
I could barely get through this book. It was full of "real-life examples" that were so obviously made up that it was nauseating. The author can't seem to get past stereotyping the issues one might have with their looks, which makes it difficult to take her seriously. One of the first things she talks about is the societal oppression of women by men, and although there may be some truth to that notion, I don't feel that I have to resent men in order to love my looks. This book is annoying and I wish I could return it.
