The blurb:
Pixie, Ellie, Katie and Jane have
been best friends since meeting at Slimming Zone. Tired of being judged on the
number of calories they consume, they decide to form a different kind of club.
The fun evenings they spend together, not worrying about their size, make them
happier than they’ve been for years!
But the club doesn’t stop real life
from getting in the way and together the girls have to address some much bigger
issues than just their weight…
Will Pixie ever be brave enough to
leave her abusive husband Trevor? Can Jane ever regain her confidence and go
back to work as a TV presenter? Will Katie always carry a torch for the office
lothario? And what if Ellie lets her all-consuming jealousy destroy her
relationship with ‘The One’?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in
exchange for an honest review*
This story is about four women, who go to a diet club
and they become best friends. They spend a lot of time with each other and
decide to form a club, where they organise little events. They name it “The
Curvy Girls Club” – a great name ;)
The club becomes more and more popular and people
really enjoy the events.
The four women are all in a very different step of
life. Katie, who is telling the story from her point of view, has a crush on
the office lothario and when he suddenly shows interest, she is drawn to him.
But is he really honest with her and what about her friend Rob from the club.
They get along really well… Oh and she is struggeling at work as well and when
she start loosing weight, the others don’t really want her organising the club…
Pixie has to deal with her husband and just cannot
come up with the courage to leave him, can her friends help her through this?!
Then we have Jane, who has lost her confidence and
takes drastic measures to loose weight.
Ellie has problems trusting her boyfriend and with
Katie’s help she tries to find out what he has been up to…
Four different stories, one club, lots of problems and
drama. Michele found a great way to combine this all into a great story. Her
writing is engaging and funny and I really enjoyed the story.
The characters are well lined out and I think every
woman can find one in this book to relate to. A great book for women if all shapes
and sizes.
