Overall I was fairly indifferent about the book but I was quite put off by the fact that it seemed to reinforce the notion that Jemima still had be be fairly slim to have any hope of a happy life.

Released on Friday, April 16, 2004 at Holiday Inn Airport Oakland Pk, 4505 Woodson Rd in St. Louis, Missouri USA.

Picked this up at the Bookcrossing Convention this past weekend - what a fun time I had! I'll read it and release it somewhere.

I have to agree with grover3d - while the novel was entertaining, there was definitely a sense of "once Jemima J lost weight, then her life really began." It covers some of the same themes as in "Good in Bed" but I don't think it covers them as well - or as critically. It is interesting, though, that there does seem to be a rise in books narrated by women dealing with their weight - a good trend, I think.

Released on Monday, April 26, 2004 at The Commonspace, 615 N. Grand in St. Louis, Missouri USA.

Left on Saturday on the bookshelves at this OBCZ when I came to knit.

I have been curious about ChickLit so I grabbed this off the shelves last night at TheCommonspace. Will read and release.

Not only is this book excessively focused on what good fun a skinny single girl can have as opposed to a fat one, the story didn't captivate me all that much. I guess chicklit is not for me-for my shallow reading I prefer mysteries.
