Though much of Mean Girls plays like an after school special, the overall message that it portrays is one that pulled me in completely and had me rooting for Adele every step of the way.  Her whole life she's been curvy and has gotten used to the name calling as she has strong self-esteem.  The only time she feels uncertain is when it comes to the super sexy life guard Oliver.  She has the hots for him but doesn't think she can get a man like him.  Little does she know that he feels the same way about her.  It'll take an unexpected ally to bring them together and put the mean girls in their place.Oliver is extremely handsome so women have always come to him.  He's not used to going after what he wants, and what he wants is Adele.  He loves everything about her, especially her curves, but doesn't know how to get her attention.  Luckily a new friend helps him get Adele's attention and from there he proves himself to be a knight in shining armor in defending her against the mean girls.Oliver and Adele are delightful together.  Their early exchanges are quite sweet and reserved.  They both start off shy but their time together quickly becomes combustible which leads to some scorching sexual encounters.  Oliver is quite the romantic and says what every girl hopes to hear.  Adele becomes very assertive and I applauded her finally asking for what she wanted.What brings this story down is the juvenile antics of a trio of skinny girls.  At every turn they talked poorly about Adele.  They relentlessly flirted with Oliver even when it was obvious how much he disliked them.  Even though these women were purported to be in their 30's they acted like children in their over-the-top scenes and the issues Adele experienced could've been conveyed in a more mature way which would've left a more powerful impact.The flow of the story is pleasant showing a relationship evolve, albeit quickly, from friends to lovers.  The sexual encounters are scorching and Ms. Felthouse leaves readers with a warm feeling seeing two likable characters find their HEA in a story that is satisfying and the perfect afternoon delight.
