The Jennifer Weiner Collection: Good in Bed / In Her Shoes

by Jennifer Weiner

GOOD IN BED 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. She loves her job, her friends, her dog and her life. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with 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 is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life. IN HER SHOES: Rose Feller is thirty years old, a high-powered attorney, with a secret passion for romance novels, and dreams of a man who will tell her that she's beautiful. Meet Rose's sister Maggie. Twenty-eight years old, drop-dead gorgeous and only occasionally employed, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune - and of getting her dowdy big sister to stick to a skin-care regime. These two women are about to learn that their family is more different than they ever imagined, and that they're more alike than they'd ever believe.

[Godfreyva · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick read that is for pure entertainment. I also picked up a couple of funny 'quotable quotes' from this book, like the phrase "Chub Chaser". It made me laugh out loud. A winner.

My ultimate novel. I felt so much for this. Jennifer Weiner is such a sympathetic writer, and I was taken with all 0f her characters. This story was as exhilarating as it as heartbreaking. Currently looking at her new novels.

[Rachel Piper · Rating 3 out of 5]

It had some laugh-out-loud moments, as well as some very accurate depictions of depression, but on the whole it was just too fluffy. Cannie also took "ungrateful" to a whole new level.

[Gwen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not what we were expecting-it turned out to be an okay book. It was a realistic, albeit mostly sad story
