Welcome to Litsy!

Stratman does an amazing job of realistically showing the conflicting mind of a character obsessed with dieting and struggling with her marriage. Everything rings true and relatable. Don't expect a bodice ripping rom com; this goes into deeper issues

At times, I did not like the MC very much, but I think she‘s relatable. Kit has many issues, a main one being her relationship with food. She‘s just started a new “program” (not a diet!) but she works at her family‘s bakery. She refuses to cheat on her program, but finds another way to satisfy her hunger - by cheating on her husband.

Darkly funny novel about a woman who will cheat on her husband but not her diet. 🤨

Kit works at a bakery owned by her sister and cousin. She has just started a strict diet with her husband, but when a carpenter does some custom work for the bakery, she finds a release for her pent up feelings that doesn‘t involve food. The characters made believable choices, and I always like that. More contemporary fiction than romance fwiw. ⬇️

I don‘t think I ever posted my review for this? I loved it. Messy lit fic about a woman with disordered eating habits who works at her family‘s bakery, and how she‘s trying not to cheat on her husband (but not trying very hard).

Stratman writes a very intimate portrait of a woman who is dealing with so much internal angst. At times I hated Kit, but I decided to stick with this story and am so happy I did. What the author provided felt so real throughout. You will not love every moment of the book, but in the end I do believe Kit will stay with you for a very long time.
