Nothing Tastes As Good

You'd kill to look this good...

 

Over three hundred pounds, Emmett Truesdale has never fit the Southern California mould of six-pack, suntanned masculinity. He's tried every diet under the sun but still he remains stuck - in his dead-end job, in love and in his body.

 

But then he discovers a brand-new, untested weight loss product called Obexity. Desperate for a change, Emmett signs up to the clinical trials and soon he’s shedding pounds at superhuman speed.

 

With the weight loss comes a new lease on life. He gets promoted. He finds the perfect boyfriend. And people finally treat him like he’s human. But he's still hungry for more. And the monster lurking inside of him is desperate to come out...

A staggeringly honest exploration of how shame, cruelty and the hunger for acceptance can make us feel sub-human. Visceral and vicious, horrifying, unflinching and unputdownable. - Rachel Harrison
