"The newest heartwarming novel from the New York Times bestselling author tells the story of two friends who make a promise to face their deepest hopes and greatest fears by agreeing to stop waiting to lose weight and start living now. Marley, Georgia, and Emerson met at fat camp as teens, and they never would have survived it without each other. They bonded against the disapproval of their family and friends by loving each other for who they were and dreaming together of when things would be better--something they formalized by writing up a list of all the things they'd do once they lost the weight... Now, seventeen years later, Emerson is morbidly obese and on her death bed from the strain of her weight on her heart. She calls Marley and Georgia to her side one last time and makes them promise her to stop waiting to live, and do the list now"--

The topic was relevant: body image of self and others. A novel focusing on 3 women and their friendship and struggles. It was a pleasant chic lit read but did not have a lot of depth to it. As a story, I enjoyed the characters and their journey.
Gorgeous and poignant. When I got to the end, I was in tears but I also felt happy – and hopeful. The main characters are brave and strong, with lovely personalities and the kind of friendship that everyone wants to have. Such a beautiful book.
