Twenty-three-year-old Lexie has always struggled with her weight, and only shows herself from the neck up in her Facebook photos. Living in a world of denial, she tends to hang out in her basement and dream about publishing, normal life and her secret online crush, Bradley. With her sister’s wedding six months away, she asks Bradley to be her date. Scared about meeting him in person, she joins a dieting group with her mother’s best friend, Mira. And so Operation Meet Bradley begins. As part of the Health and Happiness Society, counting calories and working out in the gym becomes their new routine. This is a wonderful book for all the Lexies around us and in us. It explains how to embrace yourself and live healthier. In fact before reading it, I recommend you download an app for counting calories on your phone, because, like me, you may well want to join the inspirational Lexie and shed a few pounds. (MH)
