Book Review: Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner

In the book Good in Bed, Cannie Shapiro has had a pretty good life, in spite of the fact that her mother has come out of the closet and her father is now where to be found in her life. She has wonderful friends, including Nifkin, her faithful rat terrier. She works for The Philadelphia Examiner.

One momentous day she see "Loving a Larger Woman" in a woman's magazine, written by her ex-boyfriend. Being larger, Cannie comes down to earth, but deals with the year in front of her. She travels round trip to Hollywood and begins a new life beginning to see who she is right now and who she wants to be.

I enjoyed this book, the serious and the fun parts. Weiner does such a good job writing realistic characters. In this case dealing with a size 12 woman who is viewed as large. I like how she was turned around to see what a valuable person she is.

This is a well-written book and I recommend it.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Book Review: Good At Games

Jill Mansell is such a gifted writer. Good at Games is a good example of her work.

This book is filled fun characters, and situations. I had a hard time putting it down once I started.

Suzy married young and then that marriage fell apart, however the two remained friends. She loves chocolate but, not working off the calories. She is not the neatest person. She is a real estate agent who works for her older brother, who cannot get enough of work.

The story does do a lot of jumping from one characters viewpoint to another, but I had a smile on my face throughout, regardless.

I highly recommend this book.
