Too much fat shaming and diet talk. It's bringing up a lot of eating disorder stuff

Idk man, it’s a pretty run of the mill book about female friendship and floundering in your forties. While I read it quickly, it was not a particularly substantial or comforting read. Not bad, but I’d pick it up from the library not a bookstore.

After attending their high school reunion three friends are determined to reach their superlatives - or as close to as possible. 'The Most Likely Club' explores the power of female friendship, love, family and motherhood and was just the kind of easy read I needed right now.
What I enjoyed about this novel was the diversity and spread of characters as well as the exploration of high school friendship. I count myself incredibly lucky to still be such close friends with so many of the girls I went to high school with so it was really refreshing to see this type of female friendship at the forefront of a novel. Each woman had something different that they were struggling with or striving for which made for an interesting read, especially when coupled with the anxiety of a high school reunion.
What I didn't enjoy so much about the novel is the mystery behind one of the four friends, she really seemed to be incredibly absent throughout most of the novel, I also thought some of the heavier themes, such as an eating disorder was very easily brushed aside when the character decided they were just going to start eating again...
While this book was the perfect, easy read for endless hours spent feeding my new born it wasn't anything particularly memorable in comparison to some of the other reads that grace my shelves.

All of the main characters were incredibly unlikable. The book is filled with negative body imagery and glorifies eating disorders.
