You don't have to say you love me by Sarra Manning

*****5 stars
I loved this books. I got this on my kindle as a recommendation by Amazon and saw the great reviews and synopsis and thought it sounded good. I was more than pleased with this book. It was a great in depth read. I really loved the character Neve and understood her plight. I think the truly sad thought is throughout the whole book she is trying to accomplish being a size 10, which seems to be an American 14, funny how standards are different everywhere. I am happy to have my US sizes, I know they aren't anything but a number, but still an American 12 beats shopping for a UK 16 any day. lol I am definitely going to pass this one on to friends.

Book Jacket summary:
Sweet, bookish Neve Slater always plays by the rules. And the number one rule is that good-natured fat girls like her don't get guys like gorgeous, handsome William, heir to Neve's heart since university. But William's been in LA for three years, and Neve's been slimming down and re-inventing herself so that when he returns, he'll fall head over heels in love with the new, improved her. So she's not that interested in other men. Until her sister Celia points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then she'd better get some, well, experience. What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia's colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexy Max. And since he's such a man-slut, and so not Neve's type, she certainly won't fall for him. Because William is the man for her...right? Somewhere between losing weight and losing her inhibitions, Neve's lost her heart - but to who?
