I am definitely going to read this book! This is so fascinating to think through. As a lover of strong internal arcs, it's no surprise that I would also love transformation stories. That also fits in with my former social work career. The makeover story is a strong fantasy but it doesn't have any power if it isn't paired with inward transformation.

Love this! The contrast between transforming to conform to society’s desirable standards vs transforming to become more true to yourself is really interesting.
