review 1: This book is competently written, and kept me entertained while waiting in my car for the kid and during a light workout on the treadmill. I appreciated the parallels to my/friends' lives in terms of approaches to weight management, and the food club provided an adequate vehicle to frame the story. The recipes at the end are a nice touch, and the only reason I'm not ready to immediately swap it out at a secondhand bookstore. I didn't think premise, character voices, or conflicts were superlative in any way, but I was never sufficiently annoyed to put the book down. I felt the hero/heroine ran into each other way too coincidentally for my plot taste. It also felt pretty improbable that the heroine would continue in a relationship with her fiance that was obviously not going... more to work out. The conclusion was somewhat satisfying (finally!), but it was hard to buy the way it actually played out. I had to work hard to suspend my disbelief and simply appreciate the neat symmetry of the final event.
review 2: Bikini Season is a really super quick read. It's about 4 friends and their journey to get into better shape for different reasons. They start out with a Cooking Club, which to me sounds like the most awesome club in the world, if you ask me. I really wanted to give this book an extra star for the fact that it contained a "Little Shop of Horrors" allusion but I couldn't entirely justify it. It was a fun book, not nitty gritty at all. So if you need something really light read this book. Whatever you do, do not read this book when you're hungry because it will make you even hungrier! less
