Becoming Zara (B.I.G. Girls Club Book 1)

If you have not read any of the Single Wide Female (SWF) books let me begin by says Sugar you need to grab a hold of The Bucket List 81 Learn Pole Dancing (it;s free i think everywhere) and you will see why Lillianna Blake is such an amazing writer.Just so you kinda understand what this book is, Samantha is the main character in Single Wide Female book series and she has a bucket list, I love this girl she is comfortable in her own skin. She is a curvy girl who has lost some weight and after doing so decide to blog about doing the things on her bucket list, Becoming Zara is number 18 on her bucket list, Publish a Book.As I was reading the book I could not help but compare Samantha to Zara and Max *her secret crush and BFF in Single Wide Female* to Braden in Becoming Zara.Unlike Lillianna Blake's SWF books were there is a great deal of laughter and this book had me thinking more. It had me looking more into Samantha's head and heart and wondering where the next SWF books are going to go and if Max and BLUE *who i happen to think IS MAX* will read into the book what I am reading into this book.Grab a copy, but if you have not read the series I have to share with you the entire series is wonderful. I read in bed a lot and my husband refuses to let me read this series in bed because i laugh to much and keep him up. In fact we now plan date nights for when a collection is coming out and we have a glass of wine *me* Beer *him* and i read the collection out loud and we laugh and laugh, YES Collection because Lillianna Blake is wonderful about actually grouping books together so if you want to wait for a set at a time (like i do) you can save and make a night of it.Grab Learn Pole Dancing for free and of course Becoming Zara is so good grab it today!!

I love this book! It's all about loving whatever body and mind that a lady naturally is given by whatever rates determine such things. A lady can be larger than a size 3, and still be loving, loved, and lovable by family, friends, acquaintances, boyfriends, and husbands. Be proud of who you are and what you are! Be happy, content, and love yourself! That's so cool! What a powerful and positive message to put out there in the cosmos...I love it! This was one of those books that's so good that it's bound to leave an impression on everyone who reads it, long after the book has ended. I, for one, intend to start talking to myself, in the mirror, in the car, and everywhere, no matter how crazy it might make me appear to observers, and sending out those positive messages and vibes everyday! What a wake-up call! If you're a full-figured woman, you'll discover a new-found appreciation in yourself. And even the most svelte, skinny model will discover a positive message for themselves to take away from this book. Thanks, Lillianna Blake, for encouraging that little bit of Zara found in some degree in practically every woman, to set them free to be their truest selves. Self-confidence and self-love are never too late to encourage in everyone, whatever their age, size, color, and shape!

Zara, warrior princess, is a very lovable and funny woman. Not unlike myself!! That's why I can understand her pain, her self doubts and her lack of self love. Her journey has been long and tumultuous. Be if you persevere, the world can be your oyster. Go get 'em Zara!!

I was gifted this book for an unbiased review, but after reading her previous book about Samantha I started reading expecting a laugh out loud book that also made you think of how you view yourself. I have fought my weight my whole life and can empathize with the characters and sometimes I can be proud that I have already traveled a journey they are starting. BUT, sometimes I have an "aha" moment and find something to help me. I read them for enjoyment, but if I get a special message for myself I am going to listen to it.Thank you Lillian a for writing your books. I just found you but I intend to read them all!!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Zara is a young professional who has struggled with weight and self-esteem issues her entire life. After a few therapy sessions she's learned how to be comfortable in her own skin and sets out on her own journey of self-discovery. Although the book it light-hearted it also makes you think. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

I loved this book! Funny, inspirational, goals and true. So many woman are struggling due to self esteem issues that hold them back from loving themselves. I have been struggling with my own weight issues since early childhood. I know the impact that being overweight has caused for me. This story tells of Sara's journey of how she has learned to love herself and in turn she is able to love others. I would recommend this to all

I love the fact that when someone loves themselves it shows, it radiates and people are drawn to it. Been there 325 lbs ago, still there at 380+ but, I've outlived both my parents and I love myself on a good day.I just wish it was more that way, more like Zara than her idiot brother-in-law. If a person is confident, size doesn't matter. Yea for Zara, yea for Lilianna, and yea for more characters like these!

Good points made about being and liking yourself for who you are now. Always be working towards a better you. Even though words do hurt, don't let them hold you back from moving forward! Strive to be B.I.G.

Was quite stupid. You could tell right from the start what was going to happen.

Light summer read

I felt like the book was just getting good and it was over. The book had a great story to to. I like the fact that it went into issues people usually never talk about. Like reinventing yourself for the betterment of yourself. That a very powerful.

I keep trying to read it but it isn't holding my attention. The theory of it is good that we should accept our bodies but it isn't holding my interest.

Loved this book. It had me reading nonstop and I literally couldn't put the book down! The chapters were really short so were easy to read. I was laughing in places, and also getting angry in others. I'll definitely be looking for the others in this series, even though this can be read as a stand alone book. Just a note that it does finish on 81% on the kindle.
