Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner

It's been a while since I've read some chick-lit and I have to say this one was pretty good. It kept me reading. It was a nice story about Cannie and oversized girl uncomfortable in her body and a good guy who's not really a good buy. It is good for people to see that most people who are overweight are trying to do something about their weight, but just aren't succeeding, which is jsut as hard as being fat. What overweight people don't understand is that skinny people also have body issues and hate other skinny people. I, myself have been blessed with good genes and eat way more than I should. however have always had body issues. When you are little and someone tells you that you are fat, you believe them and always think that you are. I always say that I would rather be 5 pounds overweight and eat what I want, than skinny and not being able to eat.

The book goes through Cannie's trials and tribulations from an absent father to a lesbian mother and an ex-boyfriend that turns out to be a jerk. When she becomes pregnant her world comes crashing down, but she realizes that she has a lot of people who care about her and falls in love again.
