Growing up chronically online in the depths of South Wales, Gina was raised in one of the most unforgiving times to be a girl: the early 2000s. Grappling with the era's body shaming and blatant sexism while dealing with a growing body of her own, she had to learn to navigate a world where internet trolls were a given, fancying her was declared a fetish and starving herself was actively encouraged by her GP.

As she grew a little older and wider, Gina started to embrace her fatness. With candour, heart and humour, she invites us to rethink beauty standards, fatphobic culture - and ourselves - and shows how fat and female liberation go hand in hand. Exploring sexuality and relationships, appetite and indulgence, this is an empowering ode to living a life without sacrificing a single ounce of pleasure.

Co-host of The Polyester Podcast with Ione Gamble, Gina Tonic has been named one to watch for 2025 by Sunday Times Style and 'the writer and editor empowering a generation of fat babes' by Dazed.

Critics Review

Greedy Guts is a revelation - it's a book that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure. Gina is a bright new literary spark and I can't wait to follow her career long into the future
Ione Gamble
I have been waiting so long for a book about appetite and indulgence written by a fat woman and Greedy Guts gorgeously, excessively over-delivers. Charming, radical, funny and intimate
Bethany Rutter
Funny, sharp, and makes you want to go and eat a burger in a very triumphant way
Joel Golby
Greedy Guts is so funny, open and honest, it's like sharing a bottle of wine with the author while she puts the world to rights on a Friday night. Gina Tonic is a marvel, and Greedy Guts is the book we need: savvy, hilarious, and straight to the point, it dissects fatphobia with heart and heat. Inspirational
