I read this 40 page digital book while waiting at the pharmacy. My son kept asking why I was laughing ... because I so relate to Annabel's fear at the reunion.  She jumps at the the chance to be someone else ... only to find out that "Christy" was allergic to cats (after she pets one), proudly displayed her tattoo (that is absent on her arm) and spoke French (her date assumes she can read the menu at a French restaurant):"The words were right there on the menu but I had not idea how to pronounce them.  Mille feuilles?  Was that Milly Fuilly, the French cousin to the 80s lip synching duo?  I had no clue."While Annabel is living large at night, she is a nutritionist by day, counseling an overweight teen with the same confidence issues that Annabel faced in high school.  Her work reminds her that she should be true to herself in finding love.WEIGHTLESS introduces Gorman's upcoming series The Curvy Girls Club (for UK readers) and The Big Boned Social Club (for US and Canadian readers).  I am looking forward to these adventures from Michele Gorman!
