****4 stars
I really liked this book. It rang true for me on so many areas as a heavy set woman. At time I felt as though it were a manual to let me know, see someone else does that or feels that way. The real story was about friendship and the changes we go through and at some point of our life how a friendship changes, no matter how we wish it differently. I really liked this book and found it very moving!
Book Jacket Summary:
Maggie and Olivia have been best friends since they were in grade school. Both overweight, they befriended each other when no one else would. Now grown up, Maggie is still shopping in the euphemism-if-there-ever-was-one "women's section", while Olivia went and had gastic-bypass surgery in search of the elusive size 4, the holy grail for women everywhere. So now Olivia's thin and blond and getting married to a handsome surgeon, and Maggie's the fat bridesmaid, again, in charge of planning "The Shower: and keeping Olivia's secret: that she's really a fat girl in a thin body. Ain't life grand?
