So, it’s only natural that her landlady positions a bulldozer in front of Maggie’s house and gives her forty-eight hours to move that her best friend, Olivia, once morbidly obese and now dwindled to the mythical size two-with the help of gastric bypass surgery-is shedding her old life, Maggie included, with the pounds that Olivia’s fantasy wedding, to the doctor of her dreams is coming up, and Maggie sees it as one last gasp for a friendship she’s determined to salvage that her nowhere coffee shop job begins to chafe and her crush, Domenic, suddenly acknowledges that she is alive.
