Publisher Description
Rediscover the modern classic that launched the career of the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Everything and Big Summer with this beautiful anniversary edition of her “contemporary Cinderella tale told with intelligence, wit, and style” (Susan Isaacs, New York Times bestselling author).
For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie Shapiro. 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 friends, her rat terrier, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She’s finally even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body.
But when she opens up a national women’s magazine and sees the words “Loving a Larger Woman” above her ex-boyfriend’s byline, Cannie is plunged into misery…and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and who she can become.
An unforgettable novel full of charm and heart, “Good In Bed offers a sensitive telling of a life familiar to many and a humorous take on how the struggle can end in joy” (Associated Press).

" I loved this book. Jen Weiner writes women well, and her characters are realistic. Would like for her to write a follow up. "
— Sonia, 1/29/2014 -
" A first novel by a talented new author who reminds me a little of Anne Tyler and John Irving. The protagonist is a full figured young woman who is publicly humiliated by her ex-boyfriend in a magazine article. From that point on life begins to happen to her in some convoluted, unexpected and frequently hilrious twists. "
— Erika, 1/25/2014 -
" I love Jennifer Weiner's first two books, Good in Bed and In Her Shoes! "
— Shanna, 1/22/2014 -
" This book surprised me. I picked it up as a quick, fluffy read - expecting nothing - and initially had a hard time getting into it, but was quickly won over by Cannie's strength, wit, and authenticity.. I guess it is the first in a series? I would read the rest. I liked Cannie and wouldn't mind spending more time with her adventures. : ) "

" I loved this book. My first by Jennifer and I have read everything else since. "
— Carrie, 8/2/2013 -
" This book took a weird, somber twist. It should not be read lightly,because it gets a little tragic. I did not care for the sudden switch in ton and in pace. "

" Good book. Some parts seemed to wordy other than that I can't wait to read the next one. "
— Vallyn, 8/31/2012 -
" the title does this book a disservice; it's not about someone's sexual exploits like it might seem(and lord knows we don't need more of those). not a bad little book - kind of sweet and an easy read. "
— Janie, 5/14/2012 -
" My first chick lit book I read (years ago), and I came back to it this weekend when I needed a laugh! "
