My Review:

This is a short story about a battle with weight loss that has a serious twist. The protagonist’s husband is abducted and the ransom is not the usual money, but rather that she loses an unspecified amount of weight in a 6 month period of time. The main character’s battle with herself had me feeling like I should get off the couch and do something. I could connect with her and the difficulties that she was facing, but couldn’t understand her reluctance to do so based on what was on the line. All in all, I truly enjoyed reading this short story, however, there are some grammatical errors that could use some fine tuning.
