Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
The only requirement to joining the Big Girls Book Club is all ladies must be at least a size 14. Another unofficial rule appears to be having something going on in one's love life that's a little bit dangerous. But in Weber's raunchy romantic comedy, these babes find there's a consequence to every freaky action in or out of the bedroom. The BGBC president is Tammy, a "sexy egomaniac" whose marriage suffers after she persuades her best friend Egypt to participate in a threesome as a birthday gift for her hubby, Tim. Egypt's sister, Isis, must face the truth about her fiance, Tony, while Egypt learns keeping secrets from the girls isn't wise. Coco, BGBC's aggressive single, finally meets her match. And the trouble Nikki is having with Tiny, the woman she left her jealous husband for, gets intense after Nikki meets a new flame. Weber keeps things tight and funny; readers with a bent for the bootylicious will certainly want to pick this one up. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Library Journal Review
Verdict: Best-selling author Weber's (The First Lady; So You Call Yourself a Man) latest novel slams the sexual pedal to the metal, as he writes frankly about strong women, comfortable with their size, who want to please and be pleased carnally. Background: Oh, those women of the BGBC, aka the Big Girls Book Club. Club requirements have them at a size 14 or higher. After being thrilled by a steamy Mary B. Morrison novel, the crew departs Tammy's house to seek outrageous sexual trysts. Isis, Coco, Egypt, and Tiny have no problems finding men, but then comes the post-hookup drama. Tammy's offer of $5,000 to Egypt will raise eyebrows, and let's just say that Tammy's husband is a lucky man.--Rollie Welch, Cleveland P.L. (c) Copyright 2010.
