Lucy Wagner’s ready for the future – her career’s on track, and her relationship with Paul, her paediatrician boyfriend, seems headed for the altar. But when Paul reveals his infidelity, Lucy must pick up the pieces of her love life. Will training for an Extreme Adventure Race with her best friends Jen and Will help her rediscover her confidence? Or will she fall short of the finish line?
Lucy Wagner Gets In Shape was a good light-hearted read. Poor Lucy had been dumped by Paul on what was supposed to be the best day of the life. After being consoled by best friends Jen and Will, the three of them decide to train for an extreme adventure race, involving running, cycling and kayaking, in an effort to re-build Lucy’s confidence. Several mishaps occur along the way, including an accident whilst running and an awful job interview, but eventually Lucy realises where true love really lies.
I really understood the way that Lucy was feeling and was happy that she had friends like Jen and Will to look after her. I enjoyed the banter between them all, especially the sweet name-calling. Although somewhat predictable, Lucy Wagner Gets In Shape was a relaxing read, ideal for those times when you don’t want to concentrate on deeper reading.
