Search - The Cinderella Pact

This was such a great book!! You can't help rooting for Nola to pull it off. This is a great book for any overweight woman who feels like she's been dissed just because of her weight.

In this stand alone, Strohmeyer departs from her Bubbles character...although she does make a brief appearance. Never the less, The Cinderella Pact displays the author's usual keen sense of humor. Can three plus-size ladies lose the weight they feel they must? Will anyone discover the secret identity of Sass's new columnist? Will Cinderella find her prince? A quick and fun read that gives you a bit to think about.

Nola Devlin has a secret identity. By day, she is an overweight frumpy editor at a celebrity magazine. At night, she is a thin, gorgeous, British advice columnist for the magazine's readers. "Belinda" starts giving weight loss advice, that surprisingly Nola's best friends begin to follow, not realizing Nola and Belinda are the same people. Very funny read!

I typically don't read chick lit types books, but this book was recommended to me so I read it. I'm glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised. In most other chick lit books, the heroines are really ditzy and shallow. The Cinderella Pact's heroine didn't to fit that mold. The story moves at a brisk pace. The plot seemed believable to me especially given the world in which we live today.

Good book. Look forward to reading more by this author!

It's not that I didn't like the book so much as it's written in first person and because of that and the story line the heroine started out as whiney in my brain and I couldn't move past it.
