This is a novel about a very overweight woman, who is beautiful inside. Spurred on by an internet relationship, she loses almost 100 pounds in order to live up to a doctored picture she sent her correspondent. Somehow, she loses the beautiful inside along the way to the beautiful outside and must struggle to find balance and get it back again.

for anyone who loves a good humorous romance about beauty and what it truly means.

the whole book. Jane Green has hit a homerun with this one!

read another Jane Green novel!

like she really understands the weight loss struggle and the attitude of society towards those who are viewed as heavy and not worthy.

did a wonderful job with this one. I read it in a short period of time (for me) because it is so good. Loved the ending also!

it is a lovely read that makes you laugh, cry and worry for Jemima!

I love the settings for this book - London and L.A. and the way they are compared and contrasted. This is a wonderful romance with a lovely ending. Usually the ending is the weakest part, but not here!
