Through Thick and Thin
Stephanie is an overwhelmed stay-at-home mom with a six-month-old. Her sister, Meredith, on the other hand, is hitting the two-year mark without a boyfriend-or even a decent date-but has a successful career as a food critic. Sometimes it seems the only thing these sisters share is their mutual desire to lose weight, so they decide to do it together. But will the strong desire for sisterhood outweigh their equally strong desire for comfort foods?

SPOILERS!
I sort of liked it. I usually really like books about women discovering themselves and trying to improve their lives, but this one seemed to lack something--a bit shallow maybe. As always, the dog descriptions were the best and once he finally entered the picture I liked that sister much more (not a good sign that I've already forgotten their names!). I loved DOGA. Awesome. I was sad that there wasn't more to the sisters relationship. Yes, they find themselves on their own, but then I'd like to see more!
Maybe what bothered me most was the fixation on different diets as the way to happiness. I wanted them to discover that it's not a diet that needs to change, it's a lifestyle, and then see that change them! I guess it sort of happened in the end, but we didn't really SEE it. Plus, a book so focused on women's image of themselves and how self esteem is so tied to weight, I wanted more--more inspiration, more philosophical discussion, more cultural critique, more emotion! That is a huge (no pun intended) issue in America today, and the book didn't hit that resounding chord.
I also took huge issue with the description of Ivy (the baby). In particular, popping her in front of baby Einstein so much! Working with babies and studying child education and development, no-I can't stand reading about babies with TV babysitters.
My personal issues asside though, I liked a lot about the book and, while no masterpiece, I'm sure a lot of peoe will identify and love it. Just depends on your point of view I'd imagine.
So far with Ms. Pace, I've discovered that the star ratings I give are directly proportional to how much dogs feature in the story. This one had a good splash of dog in the second half, and in the best way! That makes me amiable towards the story.

The review on Amazon summed it up well. Nothing extraordinary here, just written well. I don't know if I agree with the last item, but the story was just totally blah. Might have been well written, but the lameness of the story brought it all down. You think I would be totally game for this (sisters! dogs! NYC!) but the reason that this story existed, that brought the sisters together was something I couldn't relate to or care, which was weight loss. Throw in the fact, that it was just an extremely small part of the story until the end, it was like, what was the point? Most of the sisters interaction took place on the phone, which is not exciting to read about. This book was boring and because of that, I am taking even longer to pick up this authors other works, even though dogs are involved. My favorite!

June 5, 2023I've never read anything by this author before and I really wanted to like this book, but I had to give up after 6 chapters. When I pick up a book that I consider to be "chick-lit," I expect FUN and even though it doesn't have to be laugh out loud funny, I expect some funny moments. Wasn't getting any of that with this one. Way too heavy on drama so I will have to pass on this one and move on to something else. I have other books in my TBR by this author so I'm hoping there will be one there that will make up for this one.

I really loved Pug Hill and a couple of other books I have read by Alison Pace. I had to work at it to get through this one though. Pace very definitely knows what it is to be devoted to a dog and her descriptions of the various diets and their associated challenges were spot on. However, half of the book laying the groundwork for the split between the sisters and before the dog even shows up feels like time spent with people you don't really like but feel obligated toward. I am glad I pressed through. It's worth reading but not the first of her books I would recommend.

A book about sisters who are both going through their own struggles and lose touch because of it. Both would like to lose weight, both are haing issues with relationships and neither know what to do about it. It's a good book, a bit odd at times but it was a fun read. I appreciate the loose ends at the end because I feel they leave you to make up your own mind and for me it is a happy ending and a brght future.

Through Thick and Thin by Alison Pace was a fun book to read for me. Stephanie and Meredith are sisters whose lives are on different paths. Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom who lives outside of the city with her husband and her baby while Meredith lives in the city and works as food critic for a newspaper. They each view each other's lives very differently which causes some problems but in the end, they are there for each other.
This reminded me somewhat of my own relationship with my sister.

This is the second book this summer I've taken out of the library and had already read. I read it again because I couldn't really remember the story, or how it ended. It was enjoyable - a nice light beach/pool read. Now I sort of want to join weight watchers now. And become a restaurant reviewer. And own a dog. Perhaps I am too easily influenced today LOL.

A decent book about two sisters who used to tell each other everything, but not anymore. Not the really important stuff. Kinda slow going, but enjoyable. I did find the husband to be a little unbelievable. Can't really say why without giving it away. Nice, light summer reading.

I found this one to be a great exploration of the life of the twentysometings, how your life goes in directions you never expected, and how the greener grass on the other side is often illusionary. There are a few phrases that really resonated with a lot of things I've been thinking about my life.

A quick and rather fun read. The dog parts of the story were my favorite though the author's reference to familar songs and her extensive knowledge of different methods of dieting was also very entertaining.

Light easy read about a relationship between 2 sisters.

Pretty clever. Didn't shy away from a vicodin-addicted spouse or recreational doggie yoga as topics.

Eh, this was okay. Didn't really keep my interest and I had really enjoyed her book Pug Hill.

Won't change your life but a fun story and wonderful summer read.

This book started out super slow. It had a cute ending but I would have liked a little more.
May 12, 2010
this book? no. it was an astonishingly fast read, considering the fact that i felt i was being slowly plodded to my doom. i hated all the characters & didn't care what happened to them.
the story follows two sisters, stephanie & meredith. stephanie is a new mom who lives in the suburbs with her husband. she's always been happy & sporty & slim, & meredith has always felt that stephanie had the perfect life. meredith, meanwhile, is a restaurant critic in new york city. she's always been more on the judgmental side, & prone to carrying weight. stephanie is having trouble losing her baby weight, & she's secretly distraught by how distant & aloof her husband has been acting since the baby was born. she decides to start dieting, & meredith invites herself along for the ride...even though dieting is obviously going to be kind of tough for restaurant critic. especially if you're doing some gimmicky diet with a bunch of rules about what kinds of foods you can eat, rather than just eating in moderation & trying to increase your activity level.
meredith calls stephanie one day to complain about their diet, & while they're on the phone, stephanie goes into her husband's office & discovers his big secret: he's addicted to vicodin. i almost stopped reading at this point. the vicodin addiction reveal is treated like a REALLY MOTHERFUCKING BIG DEAL, like maybe akin to her opening his mini-fridge & finding it stuffed with severed heads or something. as someone who has dealt with the actual real serious drug addictions of people close to me, i was like, "...vicodin? are you fucking kidding me? the dude takes a vicodin every night & you're going catatonic?" christ. stephanie doesn't tell meredith what she found--she just says she needs a break from their sisterly relationship.
meredith is bummed, but she cheers up when she adopts a dog from what sounds like some crazy ladies who set up a tent on the street. i guess it's supposed to be a real dog rescue, but...seriously? a random tent outside central park that specializes in mixed breed daschunds? & they can run your debit card right then & there? it's called identity theft. but whatever.
meredith adopts this goddamn motherfucking dog & i pretty much wanted to die for the rest of the book. she is OBSESSED with this dog. i can't even tell you how many times his eyes are described as "wise". listen, lady, he's a dog. he probably eats poop. so give it a rest with thinking he's a "sage". she goes totally bananas buying shit for her dog. she buys books with ideas for activities to do together...even though she lives ACROSS THE STREET FROM CENTRAL PARK. how 'bout taking the little crotchsniffer for a run or something? what the fuck? she buys him CDs to listen to when she's not home--which is almost never, except when she's out reviewing a restaurant. she has an office, but she starts e-mailing in her reviews so she can stay home with her dog. whom she named D.B. sweeney. yeah, after the dude who starred in "the cutting edge". i couldn't make this shit up, it's too awful.
also, when she goes out to review restaurants, she wears a disguise. wig, make-up, clothing she wouldn't ordinarily wear, the whole nine. because she doesn't want special service in case the staff twigs to the fact that she's a restaurant reviewer. because nothing says "discreet & nonchalant" like the crazy woman in the wig who smells like dog & orders six different appetizers. but i digress.
taking this crazy dog shit to a whole new level, meredith decides her ridiculous little mutt is afraid of thunderstorms (or, as she put it, "inclimate weather;" i believe she means "inclement" weather because "inclimate" is not a word, & that is an embarrassment for the author, the publisher, the editor, et al) & would benefit from MOTHERFUCKING DOG YOGA. pardon me while i vomit in horror & disgust. just in case the popularization & commodification of yoga among over-privileged urbanites hadn't gone far enough already, now we have gary, the green-eyed "doga" master, who teaches a weekly drop-in class for yuppies & their spoiled dogs. & of course meredith thinks gary is dreamy. she joins his regular people-only sunday morning yoga class, & goes so far as to invite him to join her at a restaurant later in the week. i was so icked out. trying to date your yoga teacher is on par with trying to date your therapist, as far as i'm concerned. it crosses a boundary. but he agrees to dinner & obviously seems to think it's some kind of date. but meredith starts having second thoughts when he says that he loves living in brooklyn, finds sea urchin delicious, & is uninterested in creating a doggie yoga DVD program (he wouldn't want to sully the pure spirit of dog yoga with crass commercialism, after all). he folds her napkin into a swan while she's in the bathroom, & when she had second thoughts & decided he wasn't the right match for her, i was ON BOARD, because the guy sounded like a motherfucking toolbox.
anyway, back in suburbia, stephanie convinces her husband to enroll in rehab after his therapist fails to get him to lay off the vicodin. REHAB. for VICODIN. are you fucking with me right now? maybe vicodin is a way bigger deal that i thought. i just can't really get too excited about people having addictions to medications that are PRESCRIBED TO THEM. i mean, it's not like he's selling his body on the street for this shit. the dude had knee surgery. so he's still taking them a year later. who cares? he doesn't even drink.
anyway. stephanie's husband goes to rehab & she has success with weight watchers. meredith keeps going to yoga & decides not to diet anymore. meredith & stephanie reconcile. stephanie tells meredith about the whole vicodin/rehab thing & meredith manages not to laugh her right outta town. instead, meredith walks out of a blind date, packs her dog, & goes to the 'burbs to introduce her sister to her dog. then she goes back to the city & takes the train all the way out to brooklyn to show up romantically at gary the yoga instructor's front door, because she has realized she needs to "reverse her namaste" & basically start wanting him or something.
god, this book SUCKED. then again, i hate dogs.

This book is about two sisters - Stephanie and Meredith. Stephanie is a new Mom who moved to the 'burbs, quit her job, and is ignored by her husband. She is also struggling with her baby weight. Meredith is a single restaurant critic in Manhattan with a low self esteem. She is fat and ambivalent about it. The sisters feel they are growing apart. Meredith is jealous of Stephanie's seemingly perfect life and Stephanie is melancholic because she is not happy in her marriage but has not admitted it to anyone but herself. To regain their relationship, they decide to lose weight together. Of course, if you're a restaurant critic that's hard to do. Half way through the book the sisters stop speaking. Meredith gets a dog and takes these dopy doggy yoga classes and throws out her scale. Stephanie realizes the cause of her husband's coldness. The sisters reconcile. The end.
The writing was slow and plodding, written in the present tense with many repetitive thoughts by the sisters. I liked Meredith's sections more than Stephanie's sections. At least I enjoyed reading about Meredith's job. Stephanie was so whiny, even after we learn the surprise (what is wrong with her husband) I still found her annoying and insipid. I just couldn't relate to the characters and really didn't care what happened to them in the end. I only finished the book because it was my last unread book at home and I read on my commute. I cannot recommend it, however. It is one of the worst books I have read in a while.

This was a pretty cute book - about what you would expect when someone mentions the genre “chick lit.” Nothing about it really set it apart. Although, my general apathy may be more related to my rather high hopes. When I read the description of a romantic comedy involving dogs and dieting, I thought there was plenty of opportunity for this to be a fun and entertaining read. It just wasn't that great though - I just felt like there was something missing... I don't know if it was the presentation of the plot, the writing style or the characters’ overall lack of engaging qualities, but there was something... missing. It was still a pretty fast read, and a fun way to pass the evening. I really found the constant iPod playlist and song references annoying after a while. Sometimes providing a soundtrack to novels works, but here, this really fell flat for me.

I picked this book up from the clearance rack and now I know why. First, pages 23-54 were totally missing and then pages 55-86 repeat. I can't believe that a publisher could put out a book this way. I don't think I missed anything terribly pressing on those missing 21 pages, but i guess I'll never know.
Now, that I've finished the book, it feels like something really was missing. I missed the whole part about Meredith's ex-boyfriend, so I don't know what happened there. And it wrapped up a little too tidily considering the subject matter of Aubrey. It was OK, I don't know that I would recommend it to anyone, really. I am obsessed with my over-weightness, and I didn't get much out of the diet parts.

I loved Alison Pace's first two novels - If Andy Warhol Had A Girlfriend and Pug Hill - and I was excited to read this, her third, particularly because of the beautiful cover! (I'm a sucker for a dog on a cover.)
It's the story of Meredith and Stephanie, two sisters with very different lives, but one thing in common: they both want to lose weight. They decide to do it together, both so they can support each other and also because they've been drifting apart and think it might help their relationship.

This was recommended on Jen Lancaster's (Bitter is the New Black and Bright Lights, Big Ass) blog, so I was hoping to really love it. It did get better as it went along, but it was a little too girly for me, and oddly filled with product and brand names, which was jarring.
I loved the dog, though, and the idea of yoga for dogs, or "doga".
This book was appealing enough that I will keep my eyes open for Pace's others, because she s a decent writer and sometimes a girly book is just the right thing.

This book follows two sisters who are both on different paths in life as they are trying to lose a little weight and find themselves in the process. Although I would say that this is chick lit, the stories center more on the sisters than a love interest. I like that allot.
I am a big Alison Pace fan and this book does not disappoint. As a hug dog lover, I really like that her books usually involve some kind of pooch. Her characters are charming and believable. Thank you Alison for another great story.

Hm. I wanted to like this book. It's about sisters who have grown apart but decided to diet together. Sounded like potential chick lit-ish fair with a Lifetime vibe.
It wasn't really either thing. It has very heavy/sad overtones (which I wasn't expecting), and most of the action happens in the last, um, 20 pages. But it was decent gym reading, and who doesn't love a book they were gifted in any case?

What can I say? I unashamedly loved this book about two sisters who attempt to resolve their struggles with relationships, identity, guilt, and ambition through losing weight and/or obtaining a zen-like long haired dachshund . A funny and endearing book - which is not very believable, but somehow by that fact allows everyone to relate to the women and most important to D.B. Sweeney, yoga loving dachshund.

It seems most ladies I know have a tenuous relationship at best with food, and body issues to go along with it. This novel added sisters, romance, children, marriage complications, and career frustrations into the mix in a realistic, endearing way. Really connected with both of the characters, and enjoyed spending time with them. Satisfying and realistic ending as well.
January 25, 2011
I really enjoy Alison's books and this one's no exception. I love how I can relate to things going on in her books, even if on the surface the characters seem to be very different from me. And I am totally in love with the dogs she writes about! Makes me want to figure out how to hide a dog in my apartment!! :D
January 7, 2008
I really liked this book. Very easy to read and very close to home with the sister thing. I didn't like the abupt ending, but I just assume it ends the way you want it to. I am going to read this authors other book Pug Hill. I think all of my friends would like this book.:)
September 3, 2007
I got a bit bored with this one. You could see the ending coming screaming at you from the being. That isn't so bad if the trip to the end is engaging and entertaining (which is what this book was intended to be). And she is big on the mid-sentence-parenthetical-interruptions.
October 22, 2008
This book was cute and fun, but I didn't like it as much as Pace's earlier two - there was something that felt a little overwritten about it. I'd still recommend it, but Pug Hill was my favorite so far - read that first!
November 25, 2009
I really disliked this book. The two main characters were so annoying to me that I didn't even care to find out what happened to them, and I found myself questioning every decision they made and thought process they had.
