Women's Fiction Contemporary
In this provocative, wildly entertaining, and compelling
novel, seven women enrolled in an extreme weight loss
documentary discover self-love and sisterhood as they enact
a daring revenge against the exploitative
filmmakers.
Alice and Daphne, both successful and
accomplished working mothers, harbor the same secret:
obsession with their weight overshadows concerns about their
children, husbands, work—and everything else of importance
in their lives. Scales terrify them.
Daphne, plump in
a family of model-thin women, learned only slimness earns
admiration at her mother's knee. Alice, break-up skinny
when she met her husband, risks losing her marriage if she
keeps gaining weight.
The two women meet at Waisted.
Located in a remote Vermont mansion, the program promises
fast, dramatic weight loss, and Alice, Daphne, and five
other women are desperate enough to leave behind their
families for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The catch?
They must agree to always be on camera; afterward, the world
will see Waisted: The Documentary.
The women
soon discover that the filmmakers have trapped them in a
cruel experiment. With each pound lost, they edge deeper
into obsession and instability...until they decide to take
matters into their own hands.
