Helpful Score: 4
This book had me from the very beginning. I had never read anything by this author and wasn't sure how I would relate to this book. Thing is, had this main character been about a man I would have swore she had writtne it with me in mind. I could so relate to this book.
The whole premise of the book is about the main character, Cannie, and her old flame Bruce, and how she asks him to step back for a moment in their relationship to regroup, only to have him leave and end it. This was her soulmate, the man she had always wanted, though he had his faults. She never realized just what he thought of her until the day she opens a magazine and sees an article by him titled "Loving A Large Woman". Needless to say, she is devastated. Thus begins her journey into discovering who she really is, and where she is heading. Along the way you get to meet her mom who has come out of the closet, a sister who can't decide what she wants in life, a doctor of a "fat clinic" who befriends her......and he is just her caring doctor, right? It is a humorous and wonderful story of betrayal, of self-reflections, and of Cannie self-analyzing herself and her life and growing because of it. Of a self-discovery of a person that she didn't know was there and what her selfworth truly is. A great story, a book that I highly reccomend!
