I gave up on this book because I HATED the main character and got tired of her insulting pretty much everybody, including overweight people. (Not other characters in the book, mind you; these were general rules to be applied to all of humankind.) Maybe she redeemed herself later in the book, but I wasn't...

This was one of the books that have been languishing on my to be read pile, gathering dust for years. I am still despondent that the Red Dress Ink line was discontinued.

So meh. I've read this book before-not literally but in that this plot line is tired. That's my doing picking it up anyway. But this book never really distinguished itself as special or different for me.
