Described as a generation-defining exposé of toxic beauty culture, Ellen Atlanta holds a mirror up to the new modern beauty ideal that’s defined by advancements in cosmetic surgery, augmented reality face filters and photo editing apps. With younger women pinching, pulling, tweeing, smoothing and slicing themselves beyond recognition, important questions need to be asked about the realities of living in a digitally obsessed world where the pressure to present yourself both virtually and in person is all-consuming. Both a rallying cry and a refusal to suffer in silence, this is the defining book on what it feels like to exist as a woman today.
