Maddie Lawson isn’t having a great time - her new boss Colette has humiliated her live on air with her new feature “Making Brum Beautiful” and has enlisted Maddie to join a Fatbusters club. Added to that, Maddie will also have to go live on air to discuss her ongoing weight loss. Maddie’s mum and children also get involved and after a disastrous Spots Day Race, Maddie realises something has to change. Colette may not have her best interests at heart but it could end up helping Maddie after all.

At the first Fatbusters meeting, Maddie meets two other new girls: Lauren, who runs a dating website but has given up on love herself, and Jess, a beautician desperate to fit into a size 10 wedding dress for her wedding day. Can Maddie get her own back on Colette and use the Fatbusters class to her advantage? And what about the other two girls, can they make their own dreams come true, too?

Today we (along with a whole host of other blogs) are hosting the premiere of Gemma Burgess’s book trailer for The Dating Detox! I absolutely loved the book and we’re so happy to host the trailer so we hope you enjoy it, I did and I’m not even a real fan of book trailers!

Jennifer Weiner’s next book Fly Away Home is due out on 5th August 2010 and I have to say it sounds incredibly interesting. I also think the cover is really nice, it looks so much more modern than her previous designs and it’s incredibly eye-catching! Here’s the synopsis:

Sylvie Woodruff has spent the last 30 or so years being the ideal politician’s wife and raising two daughters. When her world crashes down around her after a painful, public betrayal, she retreats to her grandmother’s rambling seaside home to wait for the scandal to blow over. Sylvie’s eldest daughter, Kate, married out of friendship and respect, not love…then years later, finds herself falling for a most unsuitable man. When the affair ends badly, she sets off in search of a new beginning. Lizzie, Kate’s younger sister, who caused her parents such heartache as a teenager, is finally getting her life together. When a summer fling leaves her pregnant, and her charming boyfriend turns violent, she too heads out of town.
