Summary
Learn to love yourself and your body with this interactive body positivity book from plus-sized style and beauty blogger and influencer Katie Sturino。
Katie Sturino doesn't care what anyone thinks of her; she only cares that she's happy and comfortable with herself。 Body positivity and size inclusivity is still a relatively new phenomenon， but Sturino has been at the front of the pack for many years， working to change the narrative around modern beauty standards with her blog， Instagram， podcast， and her own beauty brand。
With Megababe， an illustrated guide-meets-workbook， Sturino not only personifies the empowered female role model she never had in her youth but also teaches you how to become that driving force for yourself。 Her message focuses on body positivity， self-acceptance， and vanquishing bad body image BS so you can free up space in your brain for creative and productive energy。
Complete with affirmations， introspective reflections， and actionable takeaways， as well as space to answer prompts and jot down feelings and inspirations， Megababe encourages you to spend less time thinking about how you look and what you ate and more time discovering your inner fierceness。

Pros: I wanted to read this book because Katie Sturino is one of my favorite Instagram follows。 I’m generally not one to read a self-help-type book， but I think the topic of this book is important for taking care of yourself， being a good friend， and helping shift societal norms。 Just like on her Instagram account， in this book， it feels like the author is speaking to her friends。This book feels like a very inclusive book—it’s not just for one category of person。 It is about bodies and not just Pros: I wanted to read this book because Katie Sturino is one of my favorite Instagram follows。 I’m generally not one to read a self-help-type book， but I think the topic of this book is important for taking care of yourself， being a good friend， and helping shift societal norms。 Just like on her Instagram account， in this book， it feels like the author is speaking to her friends。This book feels like a very inclusive book—it’s not just for one category of person。 It is about bodies and not just about weight。 It acknowledges that everyone has insecurities of some sort attached to their body/appearance。 I appreciate that in the first chapter of the book， the author notes that this book is not a magical cure-all but instead is one tool to use in an ongoing process of self acceptance。 Throughout， the author helps to change the narrative and offers action items and pep talks。 I generally read books on audio， but I’m so glad I read this one on the NetGalley app because it’s a very visual book and has interactive pages that are like a workbook for the reader。 Cons: Not a con， but more of an obvious trigger warning that this book is about body image， which can be a very sensitive and complicated topic。 Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the opportunity to read this book！ 。。。more

Part workbook， part manifesto， and 100% badass， Katie Sturino's book Body Talk is a great addition to your body positive library。 Accompanied by bold illustrations and a clear voice， the author will help you give a big f-you to shame， toxic messages， and self hatred， and help you see yourself for the amazing person you already are by reframing your narrative by saying "nope" to negativity。While I feel like the book's messaging is oversimplified at times， when in reality these skills take years a Part workbook， part manifesto， and 100% badass， Katie Sturino's book Body Talk is a great addition to your body positive library。 Accompanied by bold illustrations and a clear voice， the author will help you give a big f-you to shame， toxic messages， and self hatred， and help you see yourself for the amazing person you already are by reframing your narrative by saying "nope" to negativity。While I feel like the book's messaging is oversimplified at times， when in reality these skills take years and a lot of practice to fully learn， it is an excellent starting point for someone who wants to be more body positive。 Simple tricks like telling your negative thoughts "nope" and keeping track of all the body negativity you experience in a day （"skinny latte" anyone？） are easy enough to put into practice immediately。 I especially loved the bold illustrations by Monica Garwood， which are empowering all on their own！Advanced copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
