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.
