Reviews
This was one the first of a new genre. I know that some readers 'poo poo' chick lit, but come on - we all need to have a fun read once in a while right? This book doesn't take much contemplation or effort, but you can relate to her character. How painful it is to be heavy, to have a mother you would rather not be around, the boyfriend that you keep because you don't really like, etc. It doesn't always match reality, but hey that is why I read - so I can forget about the real world.
Quick and easy read. The end was a little unexpected, but good. Jennifer Weiner hints about this story in her collection of short stores. It gives you a little more information about the boyfriend.
