  • Two Friends Struggle with Their Weight, Happiness, and the Loss of Their Friend

    Book Cover off of Amazon Website

    I wasn’t looking for a book like this, but Higgins’ book Good Luck with That really hit a nerve. As someone who is overweight and trying to find the willpower to lose weight, this book really talked to me.

    Emerson, Georgia, and Marley have been best friends ever since they met at a weight-loss camp as teens. They truly found someone who loved them, no matter their size, though they still had a list of the things that they would do once they finally got skinny!

    When Emerson tragically passes away, her friends are shocked that she wants them to carry out the things on their list, right now, before they run out of time! She didn’t want them to wait until they got skinny!

    It isn’t easy. Marley has been carrying around the loss of her twin since she was four years old. Because of that, she hasn’t been able to find love. Georgia has been dealing with rejection from her mother and brother her whole life, due to her size. She has to learn how to love herself, no matter what her size. Her ex-husband loved her, even at her heaviest, but she wasn’t able to see that!

    As the two friends grow stronger, they learn to love themselves and start living, even if they still have quite a few pounds to lose. This book was really an eye-opener for me. I have said many things that both Marley and Georgia have said. When I am skinny, my life will be better. However, I have to learn to love myself too!

    Juliet is their firstborn daughter. She is happily married with two darling girls herself. She is a famous architect. Their second daughter, Sadie, is more free-spirited. She is a preschool teacher by day and works on her paintings in the evenings.

    Things were going fine until John had a stroke. Sadie puts her career on hold to move back home to help with her dad. Then, she finds herself face-to-face with the man who broke her heart. Juliet is struggling with panic attacks, even though her life seems perfect to many.

    Barb also faces a future in which she may have to take care of John for the rest of his life. She also discovers a secret that changes everything.

    While there are many changes for the Frost family, they all pull together to get through it. A good novel that you won’t want to put down, so you can see what happens!
