Theresa Brubaker is a 25-year-old woman who hates her body, hair, and skin. She is hung up on the fact that she is well-endowed, believing her "devastatingly enormous breasts" are ruining her life. When her brother brings a friend home from the Air Force on Christmas break, she is reluctant to meet him since all men just stare at her chest. But Bryan Scanlon is different. He's been warned by her brother and his eyes do not slide below her chin. Theresa and Bryan slowly become friends. She is attracted to Bryan, but doesn't know if she can actually act on her attraction.

This has to be one of the dumbest stories I've ever read. The heroine actually contemplates staying in her room for two weeks while Bryan is visiting. She whines constantly about the size of her breasts. We don't find out till the middle of the book that she is a 34DD. The way she went on and on about her problems, I thought they were dragging on the ground.

I can't believe the same author who wrote the classic MORNING GLORY wrote this drivel. Luckily, I've read several books by this author and know this is not her usual writing. My rating: 1 Star.
