Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner brings to life an irresistibly funny and relatable heroine in the novel The Boston Globe called “funny, fanciful, extremely poignant, and rich with insight.”

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, Nifkin, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She’s even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body.

But the day 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.

"Definitely a book that made me laugh out loud. Jennifer Weiner's writing style makes you think you are having a glass of wine with a girlfriend. Loved the main character Cannie and her ability to dust herself off despite having been humiliated, beaten down and ran over by life. I've read other Jennifer Weiner novels since but this one was definitely my favorite."

    " Weiner proved her­self once again to me. She really knows how to write humoristic chick-­lit with the hard real­ity woven through. You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all, you will not be able to put the book down once you started. Three times hooray for Jen­nifer Weiner. "
