Sabrina Hunter believes the way to happiness is being thin.
Which makes it tough for a girl like her, who can eat her body weight in Oreos.
The publisher of her first novel just turned Sabrina’s lifelong dream into a nightmare by deciding to market her as their “glamorous author of glamorous books,” relying on a website photo from two years ago.
A photo taken before she ballooned into her current blimp-like state.
Terrified her publisher will cancel her contract when they discover she’s rejoined the ranks of the chubby, Sabrina throws herself into a rigid diet plan. With the book’s launch only a few months away, plus her boss’s A-list celeb party that same week, she’ll have to shed those extra pounds fast.
When Sabrina joins a support group for compulsive overeaters, she expects to lose forty pounds. However, she doesn’t foresee what she will gain: friendship, love, new interests, and the surprising knowledge that you don’t have to be thin to find serenity.
“A powerful story about self-image, expectation, and the wounds we ultimately inflict on ourselves.”
