You Too Can Have A Body Like Mine: Hilarious and poignant reflection on societal standards

"A woman known only by the letter A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality show called That’s My Partner! A eats (or doesn’t) the right things, watches endless amounts of television, often just for the commercials—particularly the recurring cartoon escapades of Kandy Kat, the mascot for an entirely chemical dessert—and models herself on a standard of beauty that only exists in such advertising. She fixates on the fifteen minutes of fame a news-celebrity named Michael has earned after buying up his local Wally Supermarket’s entire, and increasingly ample, supply of veal." I can't wait to read this. I love novels that make me think-- it reminds me of a fictional novelization of some of the points Tina Fey makes in her book, "Bossypants"!
