Good Luck with That

"This book was straight up amazing!! This was my first time reading Kristan Higgins but I can assure you it will not be the last. I loved every sentence; I literally laughed out loud, and you can bet your bottom dollar I also cried...a lot. But it was so, so wonderful and I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who has ever been a little uncomfortable in their skin."

"I loved this book so much! As someone who has struggled with weight for most of my adult life I can relate to these characters. Such a great message. Life is meant to be lived and letting the number on the scale dictate how you live it is no way to live. Such a good story about female friendships and overcoming hardship. Highly recommend! "

"It’s a wonderful empowering read about body images. It never gives way how much anyone weighs because that’s not what matters in their eyes. Anyone can find love. "

"Great story about fighting weight and the difficulties it creates in your head "

"I couldn’t put it down! "

"This book takes you through a journey. Fiction that translates into your thoughts. "

Oh, nothing big. Just examining my life. NBD.<br/>This has been quite a year. Many blessings have come my way. Things that I have prayed for have come to pass. But all change, even the most exciting, positive change, is change. And sometimes it makes you re-examine your life and who you thought you were.<br/><br/>So, in this middle of my own soul searching, I began reading Good Luck With That by Kristan Higgins. Emerson, Georgia and Marley became friends during a yearly fat camp. Marley and Georgia have stayed close, even becoming roommates, Emerson has stayed in her family home, even after her mother died.<br/><br/>Emerson has a weigh problem. A true problem, and she copes by staying in her house, even employing a sour faced cousin that doesn't treat her very well. But she is excited to suddenly find herself a boyfriend, even if her cousin doesn't approve.<br/><br/>Emerson's physical health becomes impacted by her new boyfriend - I won't give any spoilers. Marley and Georgia are struggling with the guilt that they may not have made enough time for Emerson, along with worrying about what is missing in their own lives. Although they have both been professionally successful, they are still struggling with self esteem and the impact that it has on their romantic lives.<br/><br/>I've read several Kristan Higgins books, and they've all been good, but this one was a little more serious than I expected. But it was eye opening, and made me look closer at my own life.<br/><br/>Current Goodreads Rating 4.22<br/>"
