This was an audiobook narrated by Kate Rawson. The three main characters are Maddie, Jess and Lauren, who meet when they all join the local Fatbusters club in an effort to lose weight. They all have different reasons for being there, but they become firm friends and support each other not only through their weight-loss journey but also through other tough times.
Make no mistake, although this book is definitely chick-lit and the cover suggests that it might be a light and fluffy read, the story covers such subjects as bereavement and domestic violence. It is an easy read in that the writing flows so well and the story moves along at a good pace, but it certainly has depth as well.
Lucy Diamond writes female friendships extremely well, and managed to bring together three very different but all very likeable women, as well as an interesting ‘supporting cast’. Maddie was my favourite character but I also really liked Jess and Lauren and found myself rooting for all three.
This is the second book I have read (listened to) by Lucy Diamond and I have enjoyed both of them. I look forward to trying more of her novels.
