Worth the Weight by Mara Jacobs Book Summary

Book 1 in the New York Times bestselling Worth Series

A New Body...
A New Life...
An Old Flame?

Lizzie Hampton is literally a shadow of her former self. Having lost half her body weight, she's headed to her small hometown to test out her new body on an old flame.
Just a harmless fling to get her self confidence back before she returns to
the city and the new man in her life.

But Lizzie's plan has a few bumps in the road.

Finn Robbins can't believe Liz is back in town. Desperate to be the holder of her innocence eighteen years ago, he never got the chance.
Now she's back and he can finally check her off his to do list.

But her friends, his son, and the mysterious Annie may have something to say about that.

This book contains 2-3 fairly graphic love scenes and the F-bomb is detonated somewhat frequently. If it was a movie, it would be rated a hard R.

Good. In some places of the story it dragged but I was able to finish it

Wonderful!!. Amazing heart wrenching story! I didn't put it down from start to finish and I have purchased the rest of the series. Very well written, beautiful flow.

Worth the weight. Good story, so good that I read the others in this series.

Raw emotion. This book was Amazing!!! It deserves more than 5 stars. Once you pick it up you can't put it down! Dealing with weight issues such a book hits home. The raw emotion between characters is mind blowing. I hope to have love like Finn and Lizzie. I can't wait to read the next book!

Not Worth It. This book was free, but I wish I could take back the time I spent getting through most of it--think trashy novel at it's worst. Simple terrible.

Where's Gaben?. I thought this book was about Gabe Newell or Valve... It is not. I was utterly dissapointed!

Worth the Weight. Just the right amount of close friends, falling in love, and drama. Made for great reading.

Definitely Worth Reading. Good story. Love the characters!

Loved it!. Great read! Anxious to read about the other characters in the next books :)

Wonderful read. For anyone who has ever had body issues, this book makes a lot of sense. I loved reading it and seeing the characters fall back in love and Liz finally seeing herself as Finn saw her.

Worth the Weight. Really well done romance. As a Yooper raised in Houghton County I really enjoyed the story taking place among the beauty I grew up with. I lost a great deal of weight and I could relate to many of the feelings of the main character.

So sweet. Fun, light....and worth my time!!

So cheesy.. So cheesy.

Weighed a big fat 0. Could not get through this book :( It just drags on and there’s nothing that keeps you hooked.

LOVED This Book!!. Loved this book couldn't stop reading!

Not your shallow beach read. This book is amazing! It's sweet, a little bittersweet at times. It has depth but it is also comforting. You will not regret downloading this!

Great job. This book was so good I just wish there was more to the ending. Maybe continue the story through one of her friends so you can see what happens with these characters next. Great job!

Loved it.. Such a good, light book. Would recommend to everyone.

Loved it. So so good. Must read. Love the humor. Actually laughed out loud!

Worth The Read. This book is awesome. I will definitely be reading the series. I felt so connected to Lizzie...it was great!

Worth the weight. Really good feel good book!

Ruined by trash talk. If the author had left out the beginning plot and trashy language, it could have been a good book. Too bad, would have bought the next book but won’t beause of the offensive language. It was out of place and not realistic.

Great Read. I loved the character development, story line and how Worth The Weight ended. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. Look forward to reading more of the series.

I laughed, I cried, I emphasized.. As a +sized woman, I can relate to having a good figure to where my lack of self esteem resulted in a 75 pound weight gain. I worked hard to lose some, but I never had the drive or the goals to the weight I need to lose to be healthy. I liked this book primarily because she knew what she wanted and went for it. Now if I can stop my "eat this, it's good an I love you no matter how you look" husband, I may have a chance.

Loved it. I loved it, just like watching a movie, I didn't want it to end!!

Amazing!. This book was honestly amazing . I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend this , whenever you're in the mood for a romantic , and dramatic read.

The Worth series. I don't usually do reviews but these 3 books were all so good & so different. You know how you read a good book so you buy the next one and its the same story with slight changes just different characters. Not here, each book stands on its own with different characters, likes, turn ons & endings! Great writer, I won't pass up the chance to read anything written by her again, a new author to add to my must buy list :)

Worth the Weight. Great read! Couldn't put it down! Wish there was more to the ending....maybe a part two to this story?!?

Sweet. Loved this book. Great read!

Worth the weight. Wonderful story! Enjoyable read!

LOVED this. I read this weeks ago and I'm still thinking about the characters and wondering what's going on in their lives now like they're real people I now know. My only complaint is that I need more!

Worth the Weight. This book was so good. I couldn't hardly put it down. Loved the characters & didn't want the story to end.

Such a great read!!. I had such a hard time putting this one down! I have been known to skip a couple pages if a book gets to boring. But I hang on to every word. So happy it's a series!

Worth the weight. Great book

Worth the Weight. Was a little concerned when I read the book summary that it might be a little trashy. Not the case. It was a great story, characters well developed, and an easy read.

A true Yooper life story. When I saw this on Bookbub and read a review that it was about Michigan's UP, I knew I had to read it. I, too, am from the UP, so I had to see if it was an actual Yooper writing this book. Well avid readers, things were so accurate, there is no way it couldn't be! The book is well written, and flows well. It is a little graphic, but hey, when you live in the UP, there are long winters and your imagination runs wild, especially around March when you wish the winter would just end. The story also offered some enlightening aspects on weight gain, which sounds like a person who's been there, done that. I've already downloaded the next book in the series, way to have a plan! Just can't say enough good things about joining BookBub! It's opened my reading horizons, I'm out of that snow rut! I'm off to shovel now.

:). I do not typically read this "type" of book... Yet I am so happy that I did. I could totally feel the characters, which is not always easy for me. I can be critical of inconsistencies, and found none. The characters were real to me, and isn't that the most important thing? Also, as someone who has had tremendous weight loss... Her emotions, reactions, we're SPOT on!

Worth the weight. Just when I start to get into the story it ends. Not satisfying at all!

LOVED IT. This is such a great read, it has all the elements I love. Romance, a little citrus, humor, sadness, determination and happiness. I can't wait to read the next two installments!

Worth The Weight. Great book! Well written. Made me cry at times. The emotions brought out in the book are very real. If you have ever been over weight you might get some insight in your overeating problem.

Better Than I Could've Imagined. I dove into this book unsure of what to expect, considering it was free on iBooks, but the concept was intriguing, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I would recommend it to anyone. So many romance novels are all about the sex and this one made it more about the characters and growth than about what happens beneath the sheets. I found myself mourning with the characters over lost years and bad decisions, but loving the realness of their lives and the decisions they made about the people they were or wanted to be. Couldn't put it down, thanks for a great read!

Worth Reading!. Amazing book! I finish the book within a day, couldn't put it down. Great characters and story with its laughs and tears!

Worth the read!. Love this book! The characters are warm and likable, the story line is compelling, and the romance is...well, romantic. ;-) I can't wait to read the whole series!

I liked it. Overall, I found this book to be pretty enjoyable. It had a lot of depth and definitely was not cliché the way many books are these days. I fully intend to purchase and read the other books in the series as soon as possible!

❤️❤️❤️. Loved the book.

Txqtpi. Great read!!! I hope there is more from these characters, less the paper trail. Look forward to more from from Mara.

Cute. This was a nice lighthearted book. I loved that it was set in Michigan and it was fun to read all of the Michigan references. It was just a bit predictable.

Thank you!. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and would recommend. Great escapism without being ridiculously far fetched. You could feel the insecurities of the 2 main characters, as well as those nearest (Katie & Alison)... And the sparks!! Definitely the sparks :) Based on this... Really looking forward to reading the others in the series.

Fantastic. I can't recommend this book enough! Once you start the book you can't wait to see what happens to the characters and how their lives change! Fantastic cant wait to read more! *******

Don't bother. Downloaded this book because of the good reviews. Hated it. The main character is very annoying. I literally skipped over 5-6 pages at a time, without missing anything. The plot moves at a snail's pace and the characters' internal dialogue is never-ending. Don't bother.

Couldn't put it down. Excellent book, great characters. Really engaging.

Heartwarming. Loved this book, the chemistry was brilliant & the characters believable. I can't wait to read the other books in the series. I really enjoyed the snippets of other characters to make you interested in their books too. Very clever :)

Great book!. I enojed it a lot. Really good story line

Worth the weight. Absolutely loved this book. Best I've read in ages xx

Aaah :D. This story was incredible. I loved it, I really did. I've now rerelease it twice and I'm just so in love with all the characters. One of the best books I've read in a long time and I look forward to reading the rest of the series :)

Pamela. Fab read

Been in my to read list too long. This book has been sat in my to read too long, not knowing what I wanted to read I decided on my first unread download it’s been to read for a few years! Having never read any work of Mara Jacobs I wasn’t disappointed this book had me captivated, had the attention of an always on a diet person. It’s touched me it felt personal, I didn’t want to put down and wanted to know how things turn out for Lizzie and Finn brilliant read and I’ve found another author of a different genre that I throughly enjoyed.

Worth the weight. LOVED this book..i couldn't put it down..x

Great book!. Loved it, couldn't put it down! The book is well written and the characters deep and well thought out. Brilliant! :-)

Worth the weight. I loved this book and couldn't put it down, well written, believable characters who you can connect with and empathise with......very American, had to google a few words! gives you a nice little taster of the other two female characters who have their own books....I shall be downloading the next 2 for sure!

Very good. Well thought out and not a boring moment.

Recommend!. I really enjoyed this book! I loved all the characters and the depth of their personalities. It looks like a lot of effort was put into this book and I can't wait to read the next book about Katie!!

Romance Not mistery. This book was listed under “ mystery” but its really just pornography.

Great story. Could not put the books down love the story. Cladianea

Fun read, enjoyable. I love these characters and find I can, and want to relate to Lizzie and her best friends. Thank you for making this book available.

Great read. Great book.. Until the last 3 pages. The ending was way too cliche, but overall it was great

Worth the weight. Nicely done. While we can anticipate the ultimate outcome from early on, Mara takes us through a wonderful journey with these charming characters. I will definitely read more from Mara.

Editing needed. I'm starting to feel like a broken record. Please edit, people! Incomplete words, typos and grammatical errors detract from the story. However, despite all of that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would like to read the next one (about Katie) as well

Worth reading. First time to read Mara Jacob book, I am getting hook now especially this one. I wonder if next book is good as well.
