This book was a great read! I was a little leery at first, I have never stepped outside of my genre of horror when it came to reading anything else. I picked up this book when I was going through some weight issues and couldn't put it down. It is full of laughs as a Jemima, an overweight woman in London, decides she wants to meet a man. She doesn't think she will ever find anyone who can actually see what she looks like so she decides to go on the newly discovered internet. She, along with two co-workers, signs up for a dating service as a prank (for the co-workers anyway) and meets a man in the states. She ends up sending him a picture of herself that is a little deceiving and when he tells her he wants to ACTUALLY meet her....well it ends up being an all out war with her body to try to find a way to look just like the deceiving picture! This is a great read for anyone but especially great for those of us who have weight issues and think there is no way we can lose the weight! Jane Green is wonderfully funny! Read Jemima J, it is definetly worth it!
