About the Book:
From standup comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, and the author of MURDER BOOK Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell comes this fresh comic memoir about being a snacker in a world of foodies. With equal parts humor and unflinching honesty, Hilary traces her life story through food: from her childhood as the ultimate picky eater, her teenage and young adult years of disordered eating, and finally learning to love herself again as an adult. Punctuated throughout with ridiculous (but real! and important!) snack recipes like “a baggie of trail mix” and “burnt toast,” Campbell captures the reality of growing up in a woman’s body in the ’90s and ’00s in how it shaped her life in work, friendship, and dating. Especially dating. These hilarious stories of family, romance, and belonging prove that if food can isolate us, it also has the power to connect us to what matters most. Aren’t we all seeking love, self-acceptance, and a good snack to get through it?
