From Sunday Times bestselling author Alex Light comes an empowering, incisive new book examining the crushing beauty standards women are subjected to – and how we can learn to fight back. In a world full of filters, tweakments, and weight-loss drugs, take back control and rewrite the rules of beauty on your own terms.Today’s unrelenting beauty standards tell women that our worth is conditional; that we aren’t good enough as we are. We fix and filter, tweak and tone, erasing ourselves to reach the ever-shifting goal of perfection.In The Price of Pretty, Sunday Times bestselling author and podcaster Alex Light investigates the forces behind today’s beauty dystopia. From the rise of new technologies and treatments framed as ‘self-care’ and the industries profiting from our insecurities, to the toxic messaging passed through generations, and how we can break the cycle.With lunchtime ‘tweakments’ on the high street, endless endorsements for weight-loss drugs, and inescapable AI images and filters, the pressure to be eternally youthful, naturally filtered and flawlessly sculpted has reached breaking point. And women are paying a high price: financially, physically, emotionally and mentally. Interrogating how we got here, Alex exposes the all-consuming cost of beauty and issues a clarion call for all of us to take control and fight back.Because here’s the truth: you were never the problem in the first place.

But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.Brett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom.When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend.Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person.

An urgent, enlightening and empowering guide to disavowing diet culture and learning to make peace with our bodies, from body confidence and anti-diet advocate, Alex Light. When we look in the mirror, so many of us see a ‘before’ picture: the miserable person in the side-by-side shot waiting for the ‘glow-up’ (read: weight loss) that will bring true happiness. But it’s not our fault that we see our bodies as projects in need of constant work: this is just one of the beliefs that has been ingrained in us by diet culture. We have been taught to view ourselves as a collection of ‘problem’ areas for which the billion-dollar diet industry holds the solutions.Step-by-step, You Are Not A Before Picture provides a framework for changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Working with experts in the fields of psychotherapy, fitness and nutrition, Alex empowers readers to interrogate their underlying beliefs, challenge the external and internal forces that are holding us back, and finally find freedom in our bodies, for good.Alex Light was a number 4 Sunday Times Non Fiction bestseller in the w/e June 19th 2022
