‘Greedy Guts gorgeously, excessively over-delivers. Charming, radical, funny and intimate’ BETHANY RUTTER
‘Savvy, hilarious and straight to the point’ ALICE SLATER
‘Greedy Guts is a revelation – it’s a book that’ll make you laugh and cry in equal measure’ IONE GAMBLE
Nobody talks about the nuances of life as a fat woman. To navigate friendship, careers, sex and chairs with handles in a body bigger than those around you.
Growing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina Tonic was raised in one of the most unforgiving times to be a girl: the early 2000s. Grappling with the era’s body shaming and blatant sexism while dealing with a growing body of her own, Gina had to learn to navigate a world where internet trolls were a given, fancying her was declared a fetish and starving herself was actively encouraged by her GP.
As she grew a little older and wider, Gina started to embrace her fatness. With candour, heart and humour, she invites us to rethink beauty standards, fatphobic culture – and ourselves – and shows how fat and female liberation go hand in hand. Exploring sexuality and relationships, appetite and indulgence, this is an empowering ode to living a life without sacrificing a single ounce of pleasure.

Greedy Guts is a revelation - it's a book that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure. Gina is a bright new literary spark and I can't wait to follow her career long into the future
I have been waiting so long for a book about appetite and indulgence written by a fat woman and Greedy Guts gorgeously, excessively over-delivers. Charming, radical, funny and intimate
Funny, sharp, and makes you want to go and eat a burger in a very triumphant way
Greedy Guts is so funny, open and honest, it's like sharing a bottle of wine with the author while she puts the world to rights on a Friday night. Gina Tonic is a marvel, and Greedy Guts is the book we need: savvy, hilarious, and straight to the point, it dissects fatphobia with heart and heat. Inspirational
