Good Enough to Eat Melanie Hoffman lost the weight—and found a new life. Once a high-powered lawyer with a high-calorie lifestyle, Melanie lost half her body weight, studied holistic nutrition, and opened Dining By Design, a gourmet take out café specializing in healthy and delicious food. But the first protein muffin is barely on the rack when her husband announces he’s leaving her—for a woman twice her size. Blindsided by a financial crisis that could bankrupt her, Melanie finds herself reaching out to the first potential roommate she meets: a pink-haired twenty-something named Nadia with a quirky attitude and a ton of baggage. They’ve got nothing in common, but Melanie’s been surprising herself a lot lately...especially in her budding romance with Nathan, a local documentary filmmaker. Thrust into this new world, Melanie discovers that she still has a lot to learn about her friends, her relationships with men, and herself—and that her weight loss was just the beginning of a journey that will transform her life from the inside out.
