A fluffy, light read about a chubby woman with an addiction to sweets whose beautiful, ice-cold mother tries to keep her down so that there will always be someone there to take care of her. The heroine has been in love for years with the hunky, but emotionally vulnerable postman. He in turn is friends with a handsome District Attorney who cheated on his girlfriend who just happens to be the heroine's best friend. The story is about all four of them and the town bad-girl who just happens to live secretly in the heroine's closet unbeknownst to anyone else but the heroine. Quirky characters, small-town setting, a predictable plot and not a lot of depth. If you like magical realism, you'll like this book. I can read this kind of book when I don't want something too deep, but it's not the type of book I crave or keep.
