Review: Review from a former fat chick

The description of this book caught my eye because like the narrator, Natalie, I've recently lost a great deal of weight. Not quite 100 lbs, but very close!  I can easily relate to Natalie's internal conflicts, including the difficulty in setting aside her view of herself as a "fat chick" and learning to appreciate her new body, as well as her struggle to believe men may actually find her attractive. I even had my own "frenemy" who resented my weight loss, although she was not quite as vicious as Cassidy.It's amazing what this author was able to do with such a short story, with the creation of believable and likable characters and an actual story with a start, middle, and end. I've read novellas of considerably longer length that fail to do this.
