I CANNOT WAIT to get my copy--I'm so jazzed! :D Your outfit is beautiful, you're beautiful, and I love all these pictures and interviews (and food!)!!! I will see you on the internet tomorrow night! I can't have a piece of Book Cake (that is the coolest fucking thing EVER), but I'm making a jelly donut cake to celebrate ;)

Huge congratulations, Virginia! I'm super grateful to you for the work you've done here in your newsletter and of course, in writing Fat Talk. (My copy had better be on my doorstep when I get home, so help me.) Please soak up every second of the goodness and let all the negativity flow right over and beyond you. Kudos, you amazing person, you 🌟

Congratulations! And remember to be kind to yourself and forget about the numbers as you enter the delightful psychic hellscape that is publishing a book! (As for numbers, I bought one!)
