Good in Bed (20th Anniversary Edition) A Novel

Rediscover the modern classic than launched the career of the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Everything and Big Summer with this beautiful anniversary edition of her “contemporary Cinderella tale told with intelligence, wit, and style” (Susan Isaacs, New York Times bestselling author). For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her friends, her rat terrier, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She’s finally even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body. But when she opens up a national women’s magazine and sees the words “Loving a Larger Woman” above her ex-boyfriend’s byline, Cannie is plunged into misery…and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and who she can become. An unforgettable novel full of charm and heart, “Good In Bed offers a sensitive telling of a life familiar to many and a humorous take on how the struggle can end in joy” (Associated Press).

One of my college professors recommended this book to me years ago and I really wish I hadn't been in my stubborn years still! This book was such a delight, and it really made me feel like sometimes we read books at the exact moments in our lives when we need them. I loved Cannie, and I was so entertained and surprised at all the twists of this book. Of course I expected things would end the way they did, with her happy. Still I have to give credit for the surprises this book still managed. Great read, perfect book club/vacation pick.

еще одна книга, которая будет лучше, если по ней снимут фильм. не мыло, даже не ромком -тут есть драма (хотя ок, с хорошим финалом). история про то, как писатели колонок из глянца пишут исключительно о себе и своих друзьях и знакомых - других писателей колонок из глянца ок, на самом деле не про это история, просто конкретно это ну прям такая тру стори - один колумнист переспал с другим колумнистом и назавтра написал про это колонку, MY ASS p.s. а, и еще не могу не отметить переводчика, который я уж не знаю, что читает и смотрит в свободное время, но очень слабо в курсе американских реалий (типа названий сетевых магазинов или еды - действие происходит в Филадельфии, и чизстейк переводят как стейк с сыром, оооок), так и американского сленга - в некоторых местах я прямо видела, что на самом деле имелось в виду, и перевод был фейспалмовый. я знаю, что за художественный перевод очень мало платят, но серьезно, чтобы знать про чизстейк, достаточно смотреть сериалы

This was the book that made me discover my love of Jennifer Weiner's work. I loved it.
