Review:

This has been collecting dust for a while so why not finally get in it!

Maggie is a single mom trying to keep it all together. She has a crap job, a lecherous boss, and her mother won't leave her alone. Her prospects are dim....until her friend signs her up for the famous Dr. Jason Golding's 21-Day Overhaul. The first session is fine. However, the doctor isn't a doctor at all....it is a contractor named Jake who accidently got roped into this. Should he tell her the truth? Will she discover it on her own? 

I tried so hardddddddd and got so farrrrr *insert headbanging*!!!!!!!! 

I had to call it. Maggie and Jake seem fine enough but ugh. That is a lie I don't think anyone should get over. 

Boring. Slow.

Meh. Not for me. Maybe for someone else. I could be bitter and have been struggling to find my rhythm in reading this month. 

DNF.
