In the course of one year Dee Decker . . . . . . has gastric bypass surgery and loses 150 pounds . . . separates from her husband . . . buys a whole new wardrobe . . . flourishes in her glamorous fundraiser job . . . and becomes a Christian. She’s a new person inside and out, and the future looks bright. But then a job offer sends her life in a direction she hadn’t expected. Her past and present are about to collide in a major way . . . and Dee didn’t bring the right shoes!
Let me start by saying that I always jump to the end of the book to read the last chapter after I’ve read 1-3 of the first chapters. I know–a lot of readers hate that and think I’m crazy, but in this case it kept me reading the book. I was SO curious to know what happened between Dee and her family that they had the ending they had!
Unfortunately, I didn’t really get to find out. I would have loved to cut half of the clothing references, details on how to set up and break ground on a nonprofit, and surgery references. If you love details, you’ll love all of the info that’s included here. I much prefer more character interactions, though–I wanted to see more happen between Dee and her family, not to mention Dee and her friends.
Overall, the writing’s not bad, but there wasn’t enough character development to really pull me into the story and keep me there. 2.5 stars.
Rated PG.
