A compulsively readable and ultimately poignant examination of body image, family, and friendship,
Waisted features Randy Susan Meyers’s signature “engaging and sharp” (Publishers Weekly) prose and is perfect for fans of
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, Dietland by Sarai Walker, The First Wives Club by Olivia Goldsmith, and
Hunger by Roxanne Gay.
"A big-hearted triumph of a novel. Meyers tackles painful truths and thorny issues while weaving a smart and engaging story about weight loss, self-acceptance and the fortifying power of female friendship."— Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times bestselling author of Harmony and The Dogs of Babel
"Suspenseful. Witty. Warm. Wonderful. Disturbing. Thoughtful. Compelling. Riveting. Seriously important. Inspiring. It made me hungry. Then made me never want to eat again. I recognized myself. Then hated myself. Then loved myself. This is a must read for every woman who ever stepped on the scale with her eyes closed. And every woman who hasn't." — New York Times bestselling author MJ Rose
“The perfect blend of great storytelling and incisive commentary, Waisted peels back the layers of women’s feelings about their bodies, their relationships, and ultimately their self-worth. Readers will ride a tilt-a-whirl of emotions—fist pumping chief among them—as Alice and Daphne wage war on their inner demons and on the heartless filmmaker who would exploit their deepest wounds for his own gain.”— Juliette Fay, author of The Tumbling Turner Sisters
“How far will women go to achieve the weight loss they think will bring them happiness? This incisive story of friendship and self-esteem gets at the heart of body image with the pacing of a thriller.”— Nichole Bernier, author of The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D.
"When body image goes rogue in this tense and riveting novel, three women wade into a swamp of self-destruction as they attempt to save what they love most."— E.B. Moore, author of An Unseemly Wife
"Meyers (The Widow of Wall Street, 2017, etc.) spins a compelling tale, raising critical questions about familial, social, and cultural messages about body image."— Kirkus Reviews

ABOUT WAISTED:
How far will women go to achieve the weight loss they think will bring them happiness? In
Waisted: A Novel by Randy Susan Meyers (Atria; on sale 5/21/19),
Alice and Daphne are both successful working mothers, accomplished, and
seemingly steady, but they harbor the same secret: an obsession with
their weight that overshadows concerns about their children, husbands,
work—and everything else of importance in their
lives.
Daphne and Alice meet at Privation, a program that
promises fast, dramatic weight loss. The catch? They must agree to
always be on camera; afterward, the world will see
Waisted: The Documentary.
The women soon discover that the
filmmakers have trapped them in a cruel experiment. With each pound
lost, they edge deeper into obsession and instability…until they decide
to take matters into their own hands.
