Her ever-increasing waistline is testimony to just how small Ellie's life has become. Kat's baby is her world. As a Bosnian refugee, she wants nothing more than a stable, happy life for Ami, but Kat's relationship with Ami's dad is collapsing. If she could just lose the 'baby weight' maybe Josh would look at her the way he used to. When Mezz, Jewels, Ellie and Kat meet in an online weight-loss forum, a common goal accelerates their friendship. As the kilos start to disappear but their problems don't, they begin to realise that weight-loss might not be the key to happiness, but that supporting and believing in the ones you love, and yourself, just might be ...

This has been my reading this week, a great Australian book set in Canberra about a group of women who meet in an online weight community who think is they lose the weight their problems will be solved. It's wonderful so far. Teamed with this beautiful booksleeve, I only made 3 of these and I had to keep one, one has sold so only 1 left in the store http://etsy.me/2rpMFXt #bookgogo #booksleeve

A story about 4 women who met through an online weight loss forum. Eventually meeting in real life the women become firm friends. A friendship that will change their lives forever. I loved this story! Chick Lit with substance.
Covers issues of weight,body image, marriage, infertility and more.
