A love story of food and fantasy.
Maggie O'Leary loves food. She loves it so much, in fact, that she writes a column that justifies and in fact gives you reasons not to diet. Her message about being overweight is "Live with it and love it." When her column soars into popularity, however, she receives a call from Hollywood's super hot, rising star Mike Taylor, requesting advice on the way fat people think for a movie he's filming. Going against everything Maggie has told her readers about loving your fat, she goes on a secret diet to prepare for her meeting with Taylor.
This wasn't a terrible read, however, there are many chick lit books out there that handle diet issues better. Honestly I didn't even agree with Maggie's dieting advice as much of it seemed pretty unhealthy. If you're looking for a book about a girl who's uncomfortable in her own skin who tries to change for a guy and learns some really good lessons in the end try Jemima J by Jane Green. It's fabulous.
I want to read that book by Jane Green, I like those kind of books. i always see them come through but never check them out!
ReplyDeleteYup, I highly recommend it! In fact, I read this one because I loved Jemima J, but it wasn't as good.
ReplyDeleteAwww lame.
