If her life is a box of chocolates, acid-tongued, sugar-obsessed
Estelle Brown should learn how to pick them better. Her boyfriend's
left her for a bulimic hand model, her roomate's skipped town, and
her boss is in love with her. Fed up and In the middle of her
latest of a lifetime of doomed diet attempts - cutting sugar cold
turkey - Estelle decides to quit quitting for good, pack her bags,
and lose herself on a 7-day Caribbean cruise. But even on a
floating monument to binge eating, the diet industry follows her.
Across from every buffet is a studio full of treadmills. Next to
every plate of fried calamari is a large diet Coke. As a ship full
of wary passengers ducks for cover, Hurricane Estelle wages her own
personal war against moderation. But the consequences land her in
the belly of the beast: broke, alone, and forced to take a job as
-of all things-- a detox consultant for the ship. Is Skinny the
answer to Happy? Is Sweet n Low the new black? Is that Denise
Austin chick ... for real? No, no and yes, oddly. But for a
Sugarfiend, it's not the destination that matters, it's all the
cupcakes you get to eat along the way.
