In Jennifer Weiner's funny debut novel, smart, sassy, plus-size pop-culture journalist Cannie Shapiro is having a terrible twenty-eighth year. Her mother's come out of the closet, her father's dropped out of her life, & her ex-boyfriend is documenting their ex-sex-life on the pages of a national magazine. The novel features a warm, irresistibly funny heroine who's sharp as a tack, even when she's broken-hearted, with a wonderful cast of supporting characters, from Cannie's evil office nemesis to the fairy godmother friend she makes in Hollywood. Cannie is an amazing combination of strength & vulnerability. Through her journey readers will learn that there is more to life than weight, that "family" doesn't necessarily mean blood relations, & that sometimes love is packaged differently than you might expect.Weiner, Jennifer is the author of 'Good in Bed' with ISBN 9780743418164 and ISBN 0743418166.
