When Pandora picks up her older brother Edison at her local Iowa airport, she literally doesn't recognise him. Edison's slovenly habits, appalling diet and know-it-all monologues drive her health-and-fitness freak husband Fletcher insane. Fletcher eventually delivers his wife an ultimatum - it's him or me. Putting her marriage and two adoptive children on the line, Pandora chooses her brother - who, without her support in losing weight, will surely eat himself into an early grave.

I confess that I gave up on this book about 90% of the way through. The premise just spiraled too far from plausibility for my taste - a woman moves in with her obese brother to help him lose weight and essentially cuts off all contact with her husband. Yes, family is important, but so is the family that you chose - i.e, your spouse. Edison's main attraction as a weight loss project for Pandora is that filial tie. Otherwise, he is pretty much a lazy, self-centered lout. So I couldn't listen any more.
