Something on the Side

The only requirement to joining the Big Girls Book Club is all ladies must be at least a size 14. Another unofficial rule appears to be having something going on in one’s love life that’s a little bit dangerous. But in Weber’s raunchy romantic comedy, these babes find there’s a consequence to every freaky action in or out of the bedroom. The BGBC president is Tammy, a “sexy egomaniac” whose marriage suffers after she persuades her best friend Egypt to participate in a threesome as a birthday gift for her hubby, Tim. Egypt’s sister, Isis, must face the truth about her fiancé, Tony, while Egypt learns keeping secrets from the girls isn’t wise. Coco, BGBC’s aggressive single, finally meets her match. And the trouble Nikki is having with Tiny, the woman she left her jealous husband for, gets intense after Nikki meets a new flame. Weber keeps things tight and funny; readers with a bent for the bootylicious will certainly want to pick this one up. (Feb.)
