Title: Hurrah, for the Full-Figured Sistahs!
Review: I've been reading since i was a little girl (about 3) and throughout my adult years I have never read a story about a full-figured woman. I like this story because it touches on several issues: weight, depression, self-love, and insecurity. Serpentine is a beautiful sistah, who hasn't accepted her weight, and is under pressure at her job. She is not really assertive about things in her life - her job, or men. She makes some interesting choices in her quest or search for self-love, and Ms. Berry writes with an honesty that makes this a difficult book to put down. I found this reading to be refreshing, interesting, and very entertaining. I liked to see more of this type of writing - or more of these types of characters. I do like the way Ms. Berry ties up the different issues of Serpentine's depression, and her learning how to love herself. The ability of Serpentine to accept herself AS IS, was powerful.Wonderful writing Ms. Berry. Keep up the good work.
