'Greedy Guts is a revelation - it's a book that'll make you laugh and cry in equal measure' IONE GAMBLE

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
