Flawless

I liked a lot about this book, and I've enjoyed Elise's interviews about it. It covers a lot of ground largely successfully and is an interesting overview of an industry and culture I only know as a Soko Glam customer. It is less successful as an audiobook, pleasant to listen to, but perhaps harder to follow than intended just because chapters don't have numbers and section headings often stand alone in a slightly odd way. Ultimately I give it 3.5 stars for solid journalism even if I find the standard self help march from societal norms to conclusions about individual behavior at the end less helpful.

Also, be warned, there are at least half a dozen instances where medical procedures or beauty mishaps are described in enough detail that you might be momentarily squeamish.

There's some interesting insights here. Not anywhere near 400 pages of them though.
