Wish List Wednesday

Hello Wish List Wednesday!

        First off, WLW is hosted by Dani over at the wonderful blog Pen to Paper.  The purpose of said meme?  To showcase one of the many books on our very own wish list or TBR pile as the case may be.  For rules on how to particpate with WLW, just head on over to the above link and follow the rules.  It's that easy.

         For this week, since this week is all about Cynthia Langston and she just happens to have a book out that I haven't read yet, I will be giving you a taste of said book.  A fun excerpt is included.

Here we go!

The fun of looking backward.
The fear of looking forward.
And the frantic, dreaded horror of looking down at the scale.

The Very First Bite chronicles the toils and triumphs of Lanie Albers, who has just ten weeks to mentally and physically prepare for the ultimate day of reckoning: her high school class reunion.

With twenty pounds of extra weight, a dead-end job and a boyfriend who won’t commit, the prospect of revisiting old classmates has Lanie reeling with panic.  Not to mention the loose ends she’ll finally have to face, like Chad, her first love, for whom she suspects she might still have feelings.  And Candace, her lifelong best friend, who abruptly ended their friendship seven years ago with no explanation.

By examining the ghosts of her past, Lanie begins to prepare for the revelations and confrontations of the big night.  She also launches a desperate campaign to lose weight: an uproarious battle with fad diets and disastrous workouts, most of which lead her right back to the cookie jar.
