Summary: Nasty and poorly written
Review: I wanted to like this book. I wanted to appreciate a sympathetic but flawed character. It was, however, perhaps the worst book I've ever read; definitely the worst book I've ever purchased.The main character is unpleasant. Not just oversensitive and sardonic, but nasty. The characters she believes did her wrong are subject to mean-spirited caricatures. Her treatment of them is never questioned; but when their behavior affects her, it must be because they are simply evil. The book is also poorly written; the author can't choose a tone. It tries so hard to be funny, but when bad things happen, they're dismissed as unimportant (if they happen to other characters) or played out like Greek tragedy (if they happen to the main character). The supporting characters are undeveloped and float into the story only when they're needed as a plot device. Add in a character uncleverly based on a movie starlet and several deus ex machina moments, and you have a book that is neither thoughtprovoking or enjoyable fluff.

Summary: Best book I've read in awhile!
Review: I thought Good In Bed was a fabulous book, and considering I'm a critical reader, that says alot! The plot gets slightly unrealistic, but I didn't think about that too much while reading, because it was so exciting. I found myself guessing at the ending, then changing my mind, then changed it back, etc. Some things I predicted (proudly), some things totally surprized me (pleasantly). I was glad to see that while the ending was a bit far out, it wasn't typical. Most importantly, Cannie is a great character. I found myself laughing out loud, crying, smiling, and routing for her the entire story. Especially towards the third and fourth part, when things really get going. There's so much to this book, everyone should give it a try, whether you're looking for a beach read, something for a long plane ride, or simply a good book to put you in a good mood.

Summary: GREAT BOOK! ONE OF THE BEST I'VE READ
Review: I can't even believe that someone wouldn't love this book. I've grown a bit tired of the Bridget Jones, Shopaholic, etc series. But, this book is different. It is well written, interesting, and a bit more mature in nature. I read In Her Shoes recently, as well (written by the same author), but it was a bit of a downer for me. This book isn't like that at all. It was so good. I wish there was a sequel. I also liked Jemima Jones by Jane Green.

Summary: Perfect Beach Read
Review: Only recently did I start reading and enjoying this type of Chick Lit story, but I am so glad I did. Cannie is a very real character; a little bit of everyone. (Ok, not everyone's mom is a lesbian, but still!) I found myself turning the pages almost too quickly, just to see what would happen to her next. This is a great story of women, insecurity, weight, doubts, second chances and the miracles of life. A must read!

Summary: this book is so annoying!
Review: I decided to give this book a try, even after the terrible (but storyline appropriate) title. And at first it was fine, not great, but fine. However, once the main character entered the unrealistic, half L.A. starlit fantasy, half emotionally wrenching nightmare second half of the plot, I decided to finish the book only to see if it would get more ridiculous. It does. I'd like to say more about the book, but I'm afraid that I can't without ruining "the suspense", which, by the way, there isn't any of. Let's just say that, any darker moments in the book are completely overshadowed by unrealistic plot twists that are unexpected only because they are so ridiculous. I think in the 4th grade I, too, wanted to befriend a movie star and have her buy me fancy clothes and fancy everything else. But I am no longer in the 4th grade and I am not the main character in this book, so I guess I should come to terms with the fact that it's not going to happen. In any case, plot-wise, this book is so bad that, even though I read it 6 months ago, I'm still angry that it took that many hours of my life away from other, better books.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This truly may be one of the best books that I've ever read. Jennifer Weiner tells this story so well! I can't wait to read In Her Shoes, and any future books by her. I highly recommend this book!
Rating: 
Summary: Weiner writes well for a first time writer
Review: Weiner does a superb job at creating her main character. Cannie is realistic. I can imagine the whole story in my head and go along with the actions. A great read! I would recommend this to everybody. A humorous, inspiring book with many turns. :)

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. It felt as if the first half of the book was written by a different author than the second half. It was as if I was reading two different books.

Summary: Didn't want it to end!
Review: Very likeable characters. I didn't want the book to end! I felt like they were friends of mine. I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud while reading a book. So many of her "fat comments" were so true to life, it was hilarious. A light, easy to read that you won't want to put down.

Summary: Entertaining summer read, but
Review: This is nice, light, fluffy summer reading that leaves a lingering bad aftertaste (if any at all) for a couple of reasons. One being that it doesn't quite feel internally consistent, though I can't quite put my finger on why. The other - and this is a personal pet peeve of mine - is that once, just once, I'd like to see a novel about a "fat" girl who's larger than a size sixteen. Sixteen isn't fat. It's normal (at least, in the States).
