And it's armed.</i></b> <p> Plum Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you're fat, to be noticed is to be judged. With her job answering fan mail for a teen magazine, she is biding her time until her weight-loss surgery. But when a mysterious woman in colorful tights and combat boots begins following her, Plum falls down a rabbit hole into the world of Calliope House -- an underground community of women who reject society's rules -- and is forced to confront the real costs of becoming "beautiful." At the same time, a guerilla group begins terrorizing a world that mistreats women, and Plum becomes entangled in a sinister plot. The consequences are explosive. <p> "A giddy revenge fantasy that will shake up your thinking and burrow under your skin" (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>), <i>Dietland </i>takes on the beauty industry, gender inequality, and our weight-loss obsession -- with fists flying.
