I enjoyed this book - it was an easy read with an interesting topic - how a woman who loses 150 pounds loses her husband to another woman who is as fat as she used to be. How she rebuilds her life and learns to trust again, share her body with a new man at the age of 40 with all the stretch marks and loose hanging skin. Very entertaining and insightful.

This was a great book about a woman rebuilding her life after a life changing divorce and weight loss. It was well written and the characters give that feeling like their your friends too. While not the #1 book I've ever read, I enjoyed the ups and downs of Mels life.

Enjoyable but have enjoyed her other books more.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were strong and interesting and I genuinely cared what happened to them. I could have lived without the endless descriptions about what everyone was cooking or eating. I suppose if you are someone who really enjoys cooking that you would find lengthy descriptions of risotto fascinating. I didn't. I have noticed this author doing this in some of her other books too, adding endless details (poetry in one book) that often becomes very tedious. I also found the ending to be some what abrupt. I wish she had given these great characters a more substantial ending. All & all a pretty enjoyable read.
