Negative Positive
Title: not such a loveable character....
Review: I think this had the *potential* to become a really good book about what overweight women go through every day and having the grace and strength to overcome, but it just doesn't cut it. Cannie is such a funny character, but most of the book is just ridiculous and it doesn't do her justice. Instead of overcoming her obstacles and being a stronger person for it, everything is done *for* her by her family and her "celebrity" friend. I just think this book would have been a lot better if she learned how to trust and take care of herself instead of having a doctor boyfriend and her rich friend solve everything in the end. Another thing that *really* bothers me in the book is how Cannie thinks she has the right to decide whether or not her baby's father can be part of her life just because *she* had a bad relationship with him in the end. That is not personal growth.
Is the review positive or negative?
