Noko appears to be living a great life, she's got a good job and a loving boyfriend, but beneath a thin veneer is a young woman who is struggling with her self-image and self-confidence as she fights to keep her weight down. To Noko, being 5 pounds overweight means being miles away from happiness in her love life and in her work-place.

Customer Reviews

A bit disappointing

This book doesn’t have as much depth as I hoped it would, it all felt a little vague to me. I wouldn’t really recommend this if you’re looking for a good book about EDs. (Noko is a really great character though, I love her)

In Clothes Called Fat felt like reading my own mind and experiences.

It was a very bitter ending but it was very well written and real. The ending when Noko’s outside world is very limited due to her eating disorder is very raw and she tries to prove defiance to society by ordering a lot of food and then very obviously throwing it all up in the bathroom and proceeding to order more food. Unfortunately the only way Noko can use her rebellion against society is this way, and she can’t use it to be happy because its not possible for women to be judged by their size.
