About this listen
The diet revolution is here. And it’s armed.
Plum Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you’re fat, to be noticed is to be judged. Or mocked. Or worse. She works answering fan mail for a popular teen magazine and is biding her time until her weight loss surgery. Only then can her 'true life' as a thin person finally begin.
But when Plum notices she’s being followed by a mysterious woman in colourful tights and combat boots, she finds herself falling down a rabbit hole into the world of Calliope House, a community of women who live life on their own terms. Reluctant but intrigued, Plum agrees to a series of challenges that force her to deal with the real costs of becoming 'beautiful'.
At the same time, a dangerous guerilla group begins to terrorise a world that mistreats women, and as Plum grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot. The consequences are explosive.
Part coming-of-age story, part revenge fantasy, Dietland is a bold, original, and funny debut title that takes on the beauty industry, gender inequality, and our weight-loss obsession from the inside out - and with fists flying.

Essential reading
I found much of Plum's story very relatable and empowering at the same time. The book offers a view of the world that is powerful and eye opening. A great story and and an even better commentary on diet culture and societal constructs. This book has the potential to create change. It has certainly changed me. Excellent narration.

One of the best books I've ever read (heard)!!!
Such a great book! Such a great message!!
My only critique would be for the reader's accent. I thought it had a hint of Australian in it and once I confirmed that, it made much more sense. Fantastic voices though!!

Awful narration
Can’t explain how much the narrator frustrated me. It sounds like she’s doing a forced American accent, but it’s completely inconsistent, and she frequently stumbles over words. I honestly don’t know if the book was good or not because she was so distracting... I never leave reviews but this really disappointed me hugely.
