Journalist and author Michelle Konstantinovsky draws on her own experience as an elder millennial with a long history of pop culture worship and disordered eating, while also incorporating thorough research and interviews with psychologists, Hollywood stars, and even a few Kardashian scholars (seriously).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn between moments of discussing serious topics related to mental health, motherhood, the moralization of weight, Konstantinovsky digs deep into humor and nostalgia to convey relatable, sentimental anecdotes and memories from the ‘90s, 2000s, and beyond.
