New year, new me! That's what Saffron Saldana tells herself as the clock strikes midnight. Her resolution is the same every year: lose weight. But diet culture has ugly consequences, as Saffron is about to find out...

Can Saffron find a way back to herself and learn to love who she already is?

This is brilliantly fascinating. The afterlives of Paradise Lost and the power of poetry. Orlando Reade is a genius.
