Big Girls Book Club Books in Order

Carl Weber knows how to spin a tale that feels like you’re sitting right in the living room with the characters, listening to the latest gossip. In the Big Girls Book Club series, he invites readers into a very specific, very exclusive circle. This isn't your average literary gathering where people quietly discuss metaphors over lukewarm tea.

This is a sanctuary for curves.

The premise is simple but strictly enforced: if you want a seat at the table, you have to be at least a size 14. For the women of the BGBC, this rule creates a safe haven away from a world that often obsesses over size zero. It’s a place where they can let their hair down, share their secrets, and be unapologetically themselves.

The core group consists of Tammy, Egypt, Isis, Coco, Tiny, and Nikki. While they share a membership card, their lives are as different as they come. Some have it all together on the surface, running successful careers and managing picture-perfect homes. Others are scraping by or looking for their next big break. But whether they are living the fast life in New York City or navigating the slightly slower, but no less dramatic, social scene of Richmond, Virginia, they are all bonded by their shared experiences.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Carl Weber series without a heavy dose of interpersonal chaos.

The drama here comes fast and furious. The books peel back the layers of these women’s lives to reveal that confidence doesn't always protect you from heartbreak. You’ll find husbands who aren’t as faithful as they claim to be and new boyfriends who might be too good to be true. The romantic entanglements are messy, realistic, and often complicated by the insecurities that even the most confident "big girl" has to fight off now and then.

Body image is a central thread, but it’s never handled with a heavy hand. Instead of preaching, the stories show the reality of dating and marriage as a plus-size woman. The characters deal with men who adore their curves and men who fetishize them, as well as the internal struggle of loving yourself when society tells you not to.

Ultimately, the book club is about more than just reading. It is a lifeline.

When the cheating scandals break or the family secrets come spilling out, the club is the one place these friends can go to put the pieces back together. It’s a celebration of friendship that proves that while men might come and go, your girls—and the book club—are forever.
