Adele Blackthorne is a big girl, a curvy chick. She knows it, and she's been picked on all her life because of it. But she's gotten to the stage where she doesn't care. She may be Rubenesque, but she's healthy, too. Much healthier than the mean girls at the leisure center that point and stare and say spiteful things about her. Adele rises above it all, and simply enjoys her secretive glances at the center's hunky lifeguard, Oliver.
As the bullying of Adele becomes worse, Oliver finds it increasingly difficult not to intervene. He doesn't want to get into trouble with work, but equally he can't stand to see Adele treated in such a horrible way. Especially since he doesn't agree that she's fat and unattractive. He thinks she's a seriously sexy woman, and would like to get to know her better. Much better.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I received a copy of Mean Girls from the author, via AudioBook Boom, in exchange for an objective review. I enjoy reading romance, so I was open to listening after reading the blurb. First off, Mean Girls is definitely a novella, if not a slightly prolonged short story. In fact, if you take out the erotic sections, what it reminded me of most was the short story romances I used to read in my grandmother's Good Housekeeping magazines 40+ years ago. Those stories were short and sweet - they had a heroine who was misunderstood for whatever reason, and a hero who cut through the nonsense and fell in love. And that's what Mean Girls is. I actually find the name a bit irritating, as it grants importance to the very people and ideas the triumphant couple put in their place. So as long as you don't expect more, this is a delightful story. If you start analyzing too much, you find the age difference, the heroine's protests about her inability to lose weight, and the middle school behavior of the titular mean girls a bit hard to swallow, so just don't. Take it for what it is: a well-performed, sweet story. It has a few explicit sex scenes - some imaginary, and some real - so if that puts you off, don't listen. Otherwise, it's a nice short diversion, just like those stories from long ago.Better Title: Nice Girl and Guy Prevail.

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.The Heroine is plus-size and learns there are men who don't look for a body type but a personality. There are also men who prefer a plus-size body. In promoting that truth, the book is a smash hit. However, in the level of story and character complexity, it is not. The Hero is a lifeguard who is no alpha. He's physically built, handsome, and women chase him but he has no confidence. He doesn't know how to ask Adele out. Heck, he even runs out of gas and doesn't know it. I think if we're trying to promote BBW's being sexy and desirable, then the book should have a confident, alpha-type Hero.
But, all that aside, it was cute, it was quick and it had it's HEA.
Yay-Rah... go Adele.
PROMOTING PLUS-SIZE SELF ESTEEM IS A PLUS

I knew from the title that this listen would involve women behaving badly but since it was only two hours, I figured it wasn't going to be a long, drawn out angsty listen. (I hate those.) It was not.I liked the story. I liked that it was basically a love story of self. I LOVED that it was set in England! (That was an unexpected extra bonus to my ears.) There was a bit more sex at the ending than I prefer but that's just me.
I do wish the author would have let Adele, the main character, handle the mean girls. Letting Oliver, Adele's love interest, settle the score was a bit anti-climactic.
The narration is why I kept listening though. Xanthia Bloom (how great is that name!) was perfection on a stick.
This short listen is definitely worth your time, especially because of the narrator.
An ode to plus-sized women!

The narrators voice was easy to listen to bit was a bit too fast. At times it was hard to understand the narrator and since she read quickly, there was little time to decipher words.
An adult book with a wonderful moral
