Good Luck With That by Kristan Higgins

New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins is out with her newest novel, “Good Luck with That”.  In it, she tackles an issue every woman deals with: body image and self-acceptance.  The book is about three friends who meet as teenagers at weight loss camp. They make a list of the things that they’ll do when they’re skinny.  Some of them silly, some of them profound. Two of the friends remain close into adulthood, while the other moves away. At 35 years old, she calls them to say she’s very sick, she’s dying from complications of obesity.  Kristan shares a number of personal observations on how large people think of themselves and how all of us treat those who are obese.   kristanhiggins.com
