Reviews

Sofie Hagen, Observer
This is a feminist, empowering book; I cried the whole way through though it's very funny as well ... It's nice to read something that you know would have changed your life for ever if you'd read it when you were 16
New Zealand Listener
For the vast number of women who have struggled to accept their bodies as they are, West's memoir will offer numerous fist-pump moments.
Nine to Noon, Radio NZ
It's very very funny... it was a really enjoyable memoir but very disquieting too.
Lena Dunham
Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women. Her talent and bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be.
Weekend West
If you've ever been labelled with a condescending big-girl euphemism such as "bubbly" or "exuberant" . . . you will laugh your chubby head off at West's book
Canberra Times, Sydney Morning Herald, The Saturday Age
Shrill is a gutsy, whip-smart and fierce demonstration of the importance and the cost of speaking out

She reveals the obstacles she has encountered in challenging the status quo.
