Additional Good In Bed Information
|
Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. And for the past twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her job, her friends, her dog and her life. She loves her apartment and her commodious, quilt-lined bed. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with her boyfriend Bruce. But now this...'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world,' Bruce has written in a national woman's magazine. And Cannie - who never knew that Bruce saw her as a larger woman, or thought that loving her was an act of courage - is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life.

What Customers Say About Good In Bed:

The book goes downhill fast after Cannie becomes best friends with "Maxi," a famous actress she was trying to interview for a column. I think the first half of this book would be 4 stars, and the second half would be 2 stars, so I compromised with 3. After this unconvincing friendship, the story becomes increasing ridiculous and unbelievable. The story hooks you in immediately and seems to set up a unique plot. The flashbacks to explain her relationship with Bruce and her family issues from childhood add some depth to the story and help develop Cannie's character. The book was entertaining for the most part, but it was definitely frustrating toward the end. Worth reading if you are bored, but not a must-read.
I loved this book. I thought it was light and humorous. I loaned it to my Aunt to read next because it was so good. I just bought the next book called Certain Girls and I am excited to read it.
WHY. This was an unexpected read for me. and WHEN WILL IT STOP. the title grabbed me and I was hooked afterwards. didn't know there was a sequel but i bought the last one in stock.Cannie Shapiro speaks for so many plus-sized women who go through life wondering: HOW. The heartbreak with Bruce (he was HORRIBLE.)., the pain of her father's abandonment then him not even having enough "kahunas" to tell her the truth. all of those things made her an individual who had no problem speaking her mind.Her wit and sense of humor kept me going the entire book.Thumbs up and I can't wait to read "Certain Girls."
Book took 16 days to arrive (only 3 states away) and it was LARGE print, which wasn't disclosed in sales description. Most disappointed, I returned it.
The characters are all very likeable but completely simple. For the most part this is a nice easy read. The best way I can think to describe it is Bridget Jones with a weight problem and several life experiences that are outlandish and depressing all at once. In any case, there are enough funny and cute moments to keep the story moving and the overall book enjoyable.Rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Suggested With: A margarita and a poolside lounge chair.
