This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome, from morbidly obese to half her size, from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite (but modest) bowls of handmade pasta. But when she stepped on the scale on her twentieth birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake.

Somebody else might have begun her mournful story of bingeing and dieting and other eating disorders with an admonition or a complaint: Mitchell starts it with a joke. An Best Book of the Month, January 2015: Andie Mitchell is irresistible. How’s this for an opening line: “If you were not able to attend my twentieth birthday party, you missed a fabulous cake.
