A fun book. The main character's transformation is inspiring. ( )
  ajrenshaw99 | Sep 1, 2023 |
I stayed up WAY past my bedtime engrossed in this novel about a thirty-something overweight magazine writer who gets turned down for a sweet job as an ethics columnist for Sass! magazine only to be hired when she resubmits her entire application as Belinda Apple, a woman with a hot body and fashionable pink cowboy boots.

Unfortunately, Belinda Apple's validity is eventually questioned and an investigative search begins to discover her true identity.

Meanwhile, overweight Nola makes "The Cinderella Pact" to shed weight with her two best friends, Nancy and Deb, who are also battling their own weight-induced demons.

I enjoyed the way Strohmeyer wove the two narratives--the work-related plot and the weight-management plot--and tied them together like a bow in the end.

I am going out right now to find The Sleeping Beauty Proposal! ( )

Cute book, but the movie was better. ( )

I thought this was a cute book and it was a quick read. It had a very typical chick lit plot but there was humor and the main character was very easy to identify with. Forgettable but fun. ( )

Finished it last night. Had my first IBS attack in a month but a very bad one. hardly slept so I just read and read. Glad I had this book with me. I liked it. I liked the main character and just enjoyed the book. ( )

In Sass! land, Lori's evil has no power over the good witch that is Belinda Apple.
When you've known Nancy as long as I have, you know it's risky to confront her without comprehensive insurance coverage.
The rubbernecking patrons in the restaurant sheepishly turn away from us, the car wreck of feminine destruction in their midst.
"I wish I had a magic wand that could make us instantly thin," I say. "And then we could walk in the door and he would rush to seat us at the table by the window and we could bust him and his fat-phobic ways on the spot."
By the time I get home, I've been sitting so much that I'm exhausted.
