I loved this book! It's a great story about the dynamics of a relationship between sisters, tied in with weight issues. One of the best books I've read in a long time

I very much enjoy memoirs, but this one left me a little cold. It was as much about how and why people become obese as it is about her relationship with her sister. Well-written, but a bit clinical, a bit removed.
Very good read!
This was a great book. It is a memoir that deals with two sisters (just 18 months apart)One sister is thin the other is obese. This novel takes you through their lives and into their 30's Very well written
