I laughed, I cried. This was one of my favorite books ever. A great read for anyone who just doesn't love the way they look.

Wonderful "beach read" (I couldn't put it down on my last trip to Key West) but this author writes a better character and plot than I find in most quick reads.

I fell in love with Cannie (main character) and was so sorry the book had to end.

I so enjoy Jennifer Weiner's novels. She makes me laugh as well as feel sad with the twists and turns she weaves into her stories. Her main characters are interesting and multidimensional and always learn something from the lives they lead. I can hardley wait to receive my next novel by her!

Great read. About the way a plus sized girl lives her life and how she
deals with being plus. For people like me who are plus sized it gives the
way you can deal with your body and learn to love it.

Seems like an easy beach read at first, but you'll find yourself sucked this compelling story of how one woman searches to find peace with her true self. Rich, complex, and funny.

First novel with only a few tiny uneven spots such as the dialog between superstar actress Maxie and Cannie the main character. Gives you enough action without shorting readers on the description. Is really a good romance that has you thinking about how people's childhood experiences affect them forever. Cannie ends up with the good guy in the end but not how you expected it to happen. Highly recommend. You will laugh out loud AND cry.

I have been trying to read this book for about a month. I keep picking it up and reading a little. It is just not getting my attention to well.

This book I started to read but it got off so slow that I handed it off to a friend to borrow. After a while I asked if she was actually reading it and she said "Omg you should have kept reading right after the slow part it got so good!" and so I snatched it back and finished reading it. Yes it was good. So much drama in this young lady's (main char.) life it's sad but in the end... well I can't tell you what happens in the end haha!

One of the first books I read by her and I was hooked!

I stopped at page 124. Did the book really get any better?

I found what I read boring, repetitive, frustrating. Disappointing because I have read and liked some of the author's other books.

Takes a long time to get going as the main character is pretty depressed and almost whiney. Just as I was ready to give up on it, the book finally kicked off and had a nice story.

I loved this book. I thought it was a great story with a wonderful plot and a super ending. Will read more Weiner books for sure!
