Gorman's novel is a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming tale of four "curvy" friends who are sick of spending their time stressing over every bite of food, and who decide to take back control by organizing a social group they call "The Curvy Girls Club." The heroine is Katie Winterbottom; prior to the formation of The Curvy Girls Club she spent her days cold calling pharmacies while working at a call center and also unsuccessfully lusting after a colleague. Her nights were occupied with attending weight-loss meetings and generally feeling bad about herself. That all begins to turn around after Katie and her three friends, Jane, Ellie, and Pixie decide to ditch the weight-loss meetings and start a social club, where feeling good about yourself and your curves is the main motto. However, once Katie begins to lose weight unexpectedly, she's faced with the possibility of a drastic change to the life she's made for herself. This is a delightful book of friendship, acceptance, and belonging for anyone who has ever wondered: "What if?"
