This was my first book I read by Lucy Diamond I do believe.The story is about Maddie, Jess and Lauren , three women on seperate walks of life who meet and bond over a weight-watching group. Though they meet at the group, they quickly become true friends.Maddie works at a local radio station as a broadcast assistant for a not so nice "on air personality" Collette McMahon. Collette is one of those witches with a capital B and loves to make Maddie run all her menial errands like getting coffee, and basically anything to make Maddie feel like the pion she is instead of the capable and intelligent professional she is. Maddie's job was all of the behind the scenes prepping for the shows, all Collette basically had to do was show up and be on air.One day however, Collette decides to not take all the work that Becky and Maddie have prepared and "wing" it. on Live Air and decides to announce to the world that she was starting a new campaign "Make Birmingham Beautiful" and announces that all the folks at the radio station will be taking a part and will be getting new beauty regimes. With a look of spite in her eyes, she announces all the lovely treatments that everyone will be getting... Then to Maddies complete horrification, she announces that for Maddie, whose trying to "Beat the bulge" she'll be going to try a FatBusters weight-watching class.Beyond mortified and wanting the world to swallow her up, Maddie decides that she can't let Collette get the best of her. Maddie decides she will go to those Fat Busting classes and in doing so she finds two friends and fellow "bulge busters" in Jess & Lauren.This was a really fun story and you get each of Jess, Maddie and Lauren's POV. Ms. Diamond truly outdid herself with this book. ITs' a fun story, but also has a strong element of friendship, romance and fighting back... This is truly a great book and it makes me want to search the earth for more Lucy Diamond books and devour them all.
