I laughed, I cried. This was one of my favorite books ever. A great read for anyone who just doesn't love the way they look.

Great read. About the way a plus sized girl lives her life and how she
deals with being plus. For people like me who are plus sized it gives the
way you can deal with your body and learn to love it.

Wonderful "beach read" (I couldn't put it down on my last trip to Key West) but this author writes a better character and plot than I find in most quick reads.

I fell in love with Cannie (main character) and was so sorry the book had to end.

As a man, I like to read chick books, to help me understand a woman's perspective. I'll admit it, the "Good in Bed" caught me eye too. The author's plot has some surprising good twists & turns. It really helped me to understand how an overweight woman can struggle with her body, & how her body affects her self-image as well as how others respond to her & see her. I think other guy's would also appreciate a good story about a young overweight woman's struggles & joys in her relationships with others.

The Q & A section at the end was good to see who Weiner based her main characters on & why she chose some elements of the plot.
Overall: a good read.

Takes a long time to get going as the main character is pretty depressed and almost whiney. Just as I was ready to give up on it, the book finally kicked off and had a nice story.
