Bon Bons to Yoga Pants by Katie Cross
4.0
Bon Bons to Yoga Pants is about learning to love yourself. Lexie is overweight and she knows it. Her mom and her sister are breathing down her neck for her to lose weight for her sister’s upcoming wedding. All this seems to do is make her want to eat more. She’s content as she is until she inadvertently asks her online crush, Bradley, to be her date. Now it seems imperative to lose weight before the wedding. She has just six months. The reader goes with her on her weight loss journey.
While this story is about an overweight woman trying to lose weight, I think it can be relatable to most women. Whether it’s not feeling good enough, having a tense relationship with family, grief or losing weight; there’s something in this novel for everyone. I loved watching Lexie’s journey. There is some great character development in the story. You not only have Lexie’s journey, but there is a cast of side characters that are engaging as well. I laughed, I smiled, I teared up. It definitely helped motivate me in the life changes I’ve been making.
Despite the somewhat deep subject the book touches on, it is fun and easy to read. And it definitely can be inspiring for the right person. I want more.
