Conversations with Charlie Dyer, Guest: Kristan Higgins

From obsessively taking selfies to tweaking what you look like with filters and apps, it seems that technology has played a role in muddying the waters of what’s acceptable, beautiful and desirable. Not to mention, society’s never-ending struggle with defining what’s too fat, too thin, perfect and problematic is a topic that everyone has an opinion about. Even before anything was available for folks to read, Kristan Higgins’ novel Good Luck With That was causing quite a stir online as she challenged readers to think about their views of weight and body image.
