I wanted to like this book, but I didn't. I read the whole book because I had it wait listed on paperbackswap for a long long time otherwise I am not sure I would have. It was a little tame for the genre (which I don't mind) and although I like a normal size heroine, I did not like how obsessed she was with her weight, how she didn't think she could be loved by the hero without losing weight and how he seemingly supported this idea by never telling her she was fine just the way she was.

I wrote this book, too. The heroine and I both lost weight the year I wrote this book. I lost 95 pounds. It was quite a journey. However, the book is not about that - that's just a tiny piece of backstory for interest.
