I LOVED this book. I found myself laughing out loud at some parts that hit me in between the eyes, but my heart also was soft for Lexi as she struggled to find her true self. A feel-good read that speaks to women about appreciating oneself for oneself. Higly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good "chick lit" novel!

Nice, easy read. What I really liked about it was how informational it was about exercise, health, clean eating, etc. in a roundabout way. Perfect for someone just getting started to the whole world of nutrition. I also liked how it stressed the real reason for losing weight. Bradley was a bit too good to be true and as another reviewer mentioned, I couldn't get Ryan Gosling out of my mind every time he said, "girl" to Lexie lol. But he worked for the point of the story.

Perfect kick off to my summer readings! While it deals with binge eating and food addiction, it was very light and fluffy at times.

This book is so enlightening! It is a journey of a young woman finding herself and struggling with the frustration of not liking herself as she is and trying to rebuild herself. It will hit you on many levels and make you take a look at yourself with new eyes!!

I LOVED this book! Lexie is so relatable and inspiring. I love that even though she began her journey for the wrong reasons, the author did a great job of placing the right characters at the right place and the right time to show her exactly what she truly needed to see. And the best part...what Lexie learns is 100% accurate! No one should be defined by the number they see on the scale. How you feel both physically and mentally are the true indicators of a healthy lifestyle. I can't wait to read about more members of the Health and Happiness Society!!
Oh! And P.S. This is a great CLEAN read for girls of all ages!!

Fun, light and something most of us can recognise as something we do to ourselves too.

Like every great story, it all began on Facebook.
Lexie Greene, an overweight college sophomore who works in an Irish pub needs to lose weight. Not only does she have to lose it for her sister wedding that is in six months, but she wants to lose weight for Bradley. Bradley, a guy that she met two months prior before the book begins, who Lexie is in love with; he will be her date for he sister wedding.
I love everything about this book. From the characters to the plot to the writing. Everything was magical. I relate to Lexie so much that it's scary. Everything she was thinking was how I was thinking. Especially want to lose weight because of some guy and not for myself (which didn't end well, the weight thing not the guy).
The relationships, I love them. I love how the author had Lexie try and start to repair the relationship between her mother and sister. Lexie making new friends at the gym, getting along with Betsy. The main course that is Bradley. OMG was they so cute together. If you could here the scream that emitted from my throat. I was so happy for Lexie and excited in general that I had to put the book down for a minute because I was fangirling so hard and needed to calm down before continuing.
I highly recommend this book, especially you want to some motivation if you're trying to lose weight. Well it worked for me and made me rethink the choices that I was making and it made me feel better. Because even though I know I'm not the only one thinking this way, it was nice to read about it in a book and see Lexie evolve and still feel a little insecure and growing confident each page.
So thank you Katie Cross for motivating me even more on my journey to weightloss. You don't know how much this means to me.

I enjoyed this one. I think I got it free or cheap on the Kindle, so it started out as Gym Reading. But we were just at Disney and I finished my other book. I was into this one at the gym, so I finished it. It really read, especially in the end, as a textbook self-esteem story. You just knew what was going to happen. But I enjoyed reading it anyway.
