Ada's Rules: A Sexy Skinny Novel by Alice Randall
2.0
I am def not the target market for this book (skinny and white), however I thought the book was very well done. It is basically a 'how to lose weight' guide, disguised as a novel.
This was sometimes to the detriment of the story.
What REALLY bugged me (MAJOR SPOILER ALERT)....
She was so desperate to find out if her husband had cheated that she went around asking people. They all said no. It turned out he had cheated, yet he never owned up to it, and she never said anything about it. It just irritated me. He is a preacher, and if he can't be honest and admit his mistakes and ask for forgiveness, then I think he is a complete hypocrite. And Ada should have said something. Instead it was all about the unspoken, and how she knew he was sorry, blah blah blah. She went out of her way to make herself extra sexy for him, dying her bloody pubes for christs sake, and he had been shagging someone else. It seems like Ada did all the work to fix something that Preach did, and he just pretended it never happened.
