Okay. First, this is my first Diane Barnes read and it certainly will not be my last. Second, this cover. This cover is life! It's a perfect depiction of the entire story. The caterpillar, the butterfly.......it was Peggy to a "T". This book was phenomenal and kept me hooked til the end!

I loved Peggy. I saw so much of myself in her. I sort of feel like that overbearing, overprotective mom of my two teenage sons. I'm also not ashamed to admit that my stomach is flat with a silent L. What can I say? I'm overweight. So, I totally related to Peggy. I loved watching her after she joined the gym. She "blossomed" from a lowly caterpillar into a beautiful, strong, independent butterfly.

This women's fiction novel is one that should not be missed by anyone. Peggy's story had me laughing out loud on many occasion while reading this and left me not only looking in the mirror, motivating me to get healthier, but to also know that I am more than. I am more than just overweight. I am more than just a mere existence. I am a beautiful butterfly. I think you should grab a copy of this amazing novel of self discovery and see for yourself while I'm now a fan of Barnes!
