Helpful Score: 4
I absolutely positively enjoyed reading this! Obviously, you shouldn't strive to be a "skinny bitch" during pregnancy (the title's a little joke as the authors do explain), but you should always strive to be as healthy as you can possibly be.
The health and pregnancy diet tips are geared towards consuming a vegan or vegetarian diet, but even if you're not interested in totally omitting meat from your diet, Freedman and Barnouin do a great job of explaining why you should care WHERE your food comes from, especially when what you eat is of course your unborn child's only source of nourishment.
The tone is snarky and unapologetic, but hey, that's what makes this book such an easy read.

I really like this book; it's very much like the first one, "Skinny Bitch." Has some things reprinted from the first book, in fact. Language is improved a little in this one, too.

An interesting take on health and nutrition for pregnant women and their children. It can come across as either abrasive, or funny, depending on your personality. I liked it and it got me more on track to avoiding things like soda. I don't think I'll go totally vegan or vegetarian, but the book presents a strong case for this.
