As one who has had an eternal struggle with 'fatism' I
feared this book would be yet another of those tales
about a fat girl learning to love who she is inside,
written by someone whose bathroom scales had never
tipped 130lbs.
Wrong! At last, a razor-sharp and witty, yet
unpatronizing, look at life as it is for a woman who,
struggling with her own self-image, finds herself the
subject of her ex-boyfriend's magazine column, where
in all its fleshy glory, their intimate relationship is
laid bare for all to read, including, not just the
faceless masses, but friends, family, and co-workers
too.
As we watch Cannie, our lovable and vulnerable
protagonist, succumb to depression, claw back dignity,
and move forward, the story remains delightfully
unpredictable, and true enough to life for those of us
carrying a few extra pounds to wince painfully at
times. Sad, wry, yet funny, the tale unfolds into an
enjoyable journey not dissimilar to a fat girl's
Bridget Jones Diary. A motion picture adaption is
surely not far away.
