Sweet Temptation

Maddie, Jess and Lauren, meet and support each other when they join the local Fatbusters club in an effort to lose weight. All have their problems, but all find they can get through almost anything with a bit of support. A quick but entertaining fluffy read.

This was an audiobook narrated by Kate Rawson. The three main characters are Maddie, Jess and Lauren, who meet when they all join the local Fatbusters club in an effort to lose weight. They all have different reasons for being there, but they become firm friends and support each other not only through their weight-loss journey but also through other tough times.

Make no mistake, although this book is definitely chick-lit and the cover suggests that it might be a light and fluffy read, the story covers such subjects as bereavement and domestic violence. It is an easy read in that the writing flows so well and the story moves along at a good pace, but it certainly has depth as well.

Lucy Diamond writes female friendships extremely well, and show more managed to bring together three very different but all very likeable women, as well as an interesting ‘supporting cast’. Maddie was my favourite character but I also really liked Jess and Lauren and found myself rooting for all three.

This is the second book I have read (listened to) by Lucy Diamond and I have enjoyed both of them. I look forward to trying more of her novels. show less

I happened to be at the library to pick up a different book I was wanting to read. This very pink book caught my attention in the shelves and with just reading the title I figured why not?! Was I in for a surprise. In fact I didn't even read what this book was about before I started reading the book! I enjoyed this book immensely! I related to the characters in the book right away and enjoyed their friendship. Will recommend this book to friends.

I bought this book for my kindle for only 99p. I thought it was going to be light hearted chick lit. How wrong was I?
Firstly. I can relate to ladies in Sweet Temptation as will most women. Dieting non stop, does my bum look bigin this, job problems, relationship issues, family woes. I found myself relating to the people in the book.

I am not usually into chick lit stories but i can't recommend this enough. Infact i'm about to purchase another Lucy Diamond book.

4/5.

I really loved this book... 3 ladies all on the large size ( like me) who start going to Fat Busters ( unlike me as i've been doing slimming world from home) This book is all about their Home & Worklife and is sad at times but all turns out well.
A really enjoyable read

Nice read. Loved the friendship between the girls and it’s portrayal of women on diets.
