Praise for My Other Body by Ann Pai
I found the book very well written, and I thought you managed to tackle
an awfully difficult and possibly off-putting subject in such a manner
that the reader is not only able to fully sympathise with your sister's
plight, but is able to put aside the judgemental and condescending
attitude that, let's face it, our society all too often permits when
confronting obesity. I felt a lot of grace in the book and think you
should definitely keep writing!!!!

I marvel at Ann’s ability to talk honestly not only about the pain of
watching her sister’s life deteriorate, but her own battle with binge
eating and obesity. She lost her sister, so she makes new sisters of all
of us who share her struggles.

I wanted to thank you for including me among those who get to read
your book, pre-publication. I found your descriptions of what it feels
like to be in the throes of a binge eating episode to be haunting and
visceral…some of the best descriptions I’ve read!
