I Should Have Worn A Curtain: A Novella by Samyra Alexander

4.0

Shaena is plus size. Mentally she knows that she wants to lose weight and tells herself over and over again that she's going to do it. But finding the motivation, understanding her triggers, and putting in the work keep eluding her. Then you add in her binge eating and it's a losing battle for sure. 

She believes with a sponsor from Overeating Anonymous and her new beau who happens to be a fitness trainer with genuine concern for her health and an active interest in helping her she can overcome her personal demons and stay on the right track. 

This story was incredibly relatable. Every time our girl slipped up and tried to justify her poor food choices it felt like a lived experience. When she told herself she deserved to eat junk for the hard work she had put in, I felt like I was seeing myself. 

This is a two parter and the ending was difficult. I had a feeling she was going to snap and she did but not in the way I had anticipated. 

I'm hooked and plan on finishing up the second half very soon.
