Anita Notaro

The women watching weight club is a testament to all groups of female friends. I was actually jealous of how much time the friends got together - once during the week and a long brunch every Saturday. Never possible in my world and then I remembered it was fiction ;-)

It's a warm friendly novel about Pam, Maggie, Ellie and Toni who all want to lose weight, have tried 'everything' yada yada yada. Each of them have men in their lives who are getting in the way of it.

The idea of 'Sex in the City' mixed with 'Heartbeat' springs to mind as Notaro seems to have mixed the girls do lunch of one with the coziness of a village life from the other.

There are a few laugh out loud moments and some very sad moments. Covers all the emotions in this lovely well-written novel.… (mais)
