Sweet Temptation by Lucy Diamond

4.0

For me, this was typical, trashy, escapist chick lit, but at the same time, the topics involved I could relate to. Admittedly, this book wasn't particularly long, and din't take me long to read. However, that was completely okay, given the fact that I paid very little for it on the kindle store, and the feelgood buzz it gave me.

The story follows three women, who lead very different lives, and have a grand total of one thing in common - they're all members of their local Fatbusters group (think weightwatchers/slimming world).

Lauren is a bolshy singleton, who's day job it is to run a dating agency called Love Hearts. Ironically, Lauren is completely anti-love and romance following the break up of her marriage due to her husband cheating. Jessica is a gently hearted beautician, who deserves better than her boyfriend gives her, and Maddie is a middle aged Mum who is fed up with her evil boss' constant comments.

The three make an unlikely trio, but they help each other through their challenge to lose weight, and through the other life events they face along the way.

Nothing completely new in the plot, but definitely a good lazy afternoon read.
