I don't think I would enjoyed this as much as a book, which is unusual for me. I loved how the characters were brought to life by the narrator. I really enjoyed seeing how they changed as the story progressed. A refreshingly different story with some thought provoking moments too.

a bit dull. odd messages endorsing one night stands and mushrooms and other activities this 60 year old is unlikely to try. I'm sure the book will resonate with some but wasn't for me

Very slow pace with intense in depth descriptions of feelings and emotions. Interesting view of teenage love and family grief. Some might find it a bit gushy.

The Circle was great. This is even better. Watch as is all comes true! So thought provoking, it is quite unsettling. Seeing technology filter into our lives, it won't be long before we see many of these fictional ideas running our lives.

My mum had my sister and me on diets since I was 12 years old. With no cookies, cake. chocolate or bread in the house it was no wonder I started to binge on these as soon as I left home. As a single mum looking for love she was desperate to present her package with 2 perfect daughters so we went off to elocution lessons was dragged sailing and horse riding and kept on the latest fad diets. After reading this book I now feel empowered to forgive her and get on with my life. After listening to this book I feel liberated and more confident to take responsibility for my own body. After 40 years of slimming clubs and diets I am finally in control ... not them. I am taking a vow now to put myself at the centre and respond to how my body feels. Only I can do that. The book has given me a new energy, a new purpose and new mantras. I recommend it to any ladies trying to break free.
