Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner (2002, Paperback, Reprint)

The title caught my eye but the book is nothing like I thought it would be. It is a great book about a girl who feels very self conscious about her size. Very well written. A good look into how our actions affect how others feel about themselves.

I started this book at 9 one night, and couldn't put it down. I ended up finishing it at 5 am. I got no sleep, and all I could think about at work the next day was this book. I have since read every Jennifer Weiner book, and I can honestly say that every one of them holds your attention, and your heart, until the last page.

Wow! Where to begin... I was in Wal-Mart and saw this title staring back at me. I read the synopsis on the back cover and knew I HAD to read it! I also knew I could find it @ half.com for a lot less. I did. I LOVED this book and have since passed it on to my closest friend. My only instruction? "Pass it on!"

To be a plus size woman in a size 2 society is difficult at best and can make you suicidal at worst. I'm not EVEN kidding! To see someone tackle this subject as adeptly as Jennifer Weiner is profoundly gratifying!

There is one other thing though... Whenever I read something like this, I always wonder how they will address their work if they should ever conquer their demons and become a size 2? I worry about that myself, as an author. If I write about what is important to me now, how will I feel about it if it later becomes less important to me?

Jennifer Weiner has absolutely tapped a market that is HUNGRY (pun intended) for works like this! Bring it on!!! We are READY on so many levels!!!

I LOVED this book. I was getting disappointed in alot of the books that I had read lately. This book really made me see that there are still good books and authors out there. I had never read anything by Jennifer Weiner. Since then, I have bid (and won) all of her books. A friend recommended her books, and I'm glad that she did! Such a wonderful book. A very quick read, I never wanted to put it down!

I purchased this for a friend and read it myself. This author is off to a great start. Her characters are believable and the writer keeps your interest page after page. An excellant book. I plan to purchase all of Weiners books.

I love thins book! One of the best books I've ever read. Just so you know it is not about sex, it is a great novel that explains how a woman can feel with the different aspects of her life, and how she deals with them. Describes a broken heart, an overweight issue, a gay reltionship around her, an absent father, work problems. Well it talks about a lot of really interesting topics that are common these days. You just have to read it. I couldnt stop reading it since I opened the book.
I loved it!

Twenty-eight year old journalist, Cannie Shapiro, has recently taken a 'break' with her boyfriend of three years. The opening pages of the novel depict Cannie's reaction when she finds that the ex, Bruce, has written a national magazine article (complete with intimate details) about loving Cannie, a larger woman. The article spurs on Cannie's desire to lose weight and ultimately get Bruce back. Uncomfortable yet hilarious situation after situation (some involving Bruce) occurs, even ending in Cannie making an unexpected connection and friendship with celebrity Maxi Ryder. All of this while Cannie deals with a troubled childhood and insecurities of her body.

The writing was fantastic, the characters endearing and I don't think that Jennifer Weiner could have created a more entertaining first novel. RECOMMEND 5*'s

Loved this one. As the book begins, the main characters quasi-ex gets a job writing an article for a women's magazine. His first column is about the courage to love a large woman (yes, her). Just wonderful, I was hooked after this one.

LOVE IT!!!!!!! It made me laugh and cry. I think every woman alive can relate to this book. It is a great book for the late twenties and early thirties. It is a book that you will read over and over again.

At first I wasn't a huge fan of the book, but was drawn into the story towards the middle. It was a very easy read and overall a pretty decent book.

Jennifer Weiner is a great writer! Her female characters are strong and smart. She takes you through a full range of emotions is this book!

Review:
I bought these books recently and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

This author was recommended to me by several friends. Haven't read through the book yet but the back cover already has caught my interest!

It's a book that you can read when bored and when nothing else to read or do. It's not engaging at all especially at the beginning where more than two times I was a at point of stop reading it, but I didn't have anything else to read so I hung in there. The book gets more interesting from the midpoint through the end. I didn't felt identified with the main character which is a 28 years old women that thinks she not good enough for anybody just because she's fat, and her father leaving her family when she was young makes her feel like she don't deserve love now that she is an adult. But I guess that there must be people that do feel identified with that situation and could learn some from her.

I borrowed this book from my sister. I found it touching, funny, informative, and real. I returned the book to my sister, but later she swore I did not!! I bought another copy of the book on Ebay, and gave it to her to shut her up! One of my sister's so called friends must have liked it so much, they stole it!

I really enjoyed the book. I have read other books by Jennifer Weiner and wanted to read this one. This novel captures your attention from the beginning and keeps you turning the pages. An excellent book that I would recommend for all.

I love every book Jennifer Weiner has written. This one hit home with me in some ways it made me laugh and cry sometimes at the same time.In this book a ex boyfriend writes all about there love life in a national women's magazine. The first word he writes is"Loving a Larger Woman" .

THE BOOK WAS GREAT AND IN GREAT CONDITION. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN. FAST SHIPPING. THANKS!!!

Book was okay, kind of a little slow, but once you kept reading it got better. You just had to get to the climax of the book, which took awhile

This is an excellent book, and an AWESOME author. I have read 2 of her books, and love them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an exciting book, and to anyone who has time to sit for a few hours. Once you begin reading her books, you don't want to put them down. You need to be ready to spend a good portion of your day reading. Great for a rainy day or snowy day!

This was a fabulous book! A great story and a fun read! I couldn't put it down and was so sorry when it ended!

THE SELLER OFFERED THE BOOK AT AN UNBEATABLE PRICE AND THE BOOK WAS IN GREAT CONDITION JUST LIKE THE SELLER SAID!!!

I really enjoyed reading this book, it speaks volumes on the trials of relationships and body image. I have enjoyed reading several of the authors books and have never been dissapinted.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and co-worker who actually gave me her copy to read. I liked it so much that I decided to buy a copy for my daughter to read, since I gave back my friend's book. It's a light read, but the type of book that you don't want to put down. I really got attached to the main character. Read it for yourself - you won't be sorry.
