Book Description:
For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her friends, her rat terrier, Nifkin, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She's even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body.
But the day she opens up a national women's magazine and sees the words "Loving a Larger Woman" above her ex-boyfriend's byline, Cannie is plunged into misery...and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and who she can become.

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.

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.

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.

I so enjoy Jennifer Weiner's novels. She makes me laugh as well as feel sad with the twists and turns she weaves into her stories. Her main characters are interesting and multidimensional and always learn something from the lives they lead. I can hardley wait to receive my next novel by her!

Seems like an easy beach read at first, but you'll find yourself sucked this compelling story of how one woman searches to find peace with her true self. Rich, complex, and funny.

This was the first book I've read by Jennifer Weiner. I enjoyed it immensely. It was refreshing for the main character to be an ordinary woman with weight and self-esteem issues. I will definitely read more by this author.

The beginning of the book is ok but drags to the point it makes it difficult to get into. Then it goes to a dark, unhappy place and stays there for too long. However the ending makes up for it and the end result is a relatively decent read. Good for the beach or poolside as it is easy to pick up and put down as needed.

Could not finish. Unbelievable story line, had to quit midway through because of the impossibility of it all.

I did not enjoy this book. I read it upon a recommendation from a friend, but I just couldn't get in to it! However, I was pleased with the ending. I will give the author another chance as I hope to see better novels from her in the future!

Absolutely fabulous! Would highly recommend to anyone of any size!

Jennifer Weiner's book was actually a popular choice around the office. While this was still a good read she isn't one of my top authors. However, this still has a good storyline.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I identified with the main character and found myself rooting for her the whole time. I thought it was funny and sweet. I also liked the other characters in the book. I thought the story was interesting pretty much the whole way through.
Overall a great book. The plot line ends up being a little heavier than I would have liked, but it was definitely a page turner.
I loved this book. The character was lovable and relatable. I couldn't wait to read more by this author.
Franchesca M. (Starting to think that Jennifer Weiner simply cannot write a bad book. Love this one! Can't wait for my copy of Certain Girls (Cannie Shapiro, Book 2) to arrive in the mail. I started Good In Bed and was completely hooked. Stayed up until 2:30 in the morning to finish it. Great Book! Bring the tissues...
Hilarious and heart-breaking. I love Cannie, and can identify with her and her issues. Great book, as is Certain Girls, the sequel to this.
A great read! I could barely put it down and finished it in two days. This would make a great movie.
