Bikini Season by Sheila Roberts

Okay, I've capitulated. In looking for blog posts that I didn't bookmark, I've learned that life is easier if the post title includes the book title. So there it is. I'll get on the bandwagon.

This book was cute. It's total fluff, but sometimes you need fluff.

Four friends, Kizzy, Erin, Angela and Megan, are in a cooking club together. Or they were. But now Erin's wedding dress doesn't fit... and Angela looks huge in a photo of her next to her husband's hot assistant... and Megan's had yet another run-in with the "pencils" at work... and Kizzy's doctor insists she lose weight.

So the transform their cooking club into the Teeny Bikini Club-- and vow to be in Bikini shape (or at least closer to it) by the 4th of July.

But on the way, they all have bumps in the road-- Kizzy's husband doesn't like skinny women... Angela is uber-threatened by the hot assistant... Megan's got some issues to work out to make herself a "new woman"... and Erin? Well.... Erin is stressed. And stress means chips. Not to mention she keeps finding her brother's no-longer-quite-so-dorky friend in her head.

I enjoyed it. I'm not raving about it, but it was a cute story. Granted you want to head-slap some of the characters, but still. Sometimes you want a little cotton candy.

Though it does make me feel a bit self-conscious about this baby weight left over around my middle... maybe I need to form some sort of club.
