I can only hear a character complain about their weight before it gets annoying and repetitive. It was hard for me to finish this because it was like reading the same thing over and over again. The characters were very unlikable to me.

I couldn't have picked a better, funnier read!!!
This book was amazing, for starters. Ann was a very relatable character who was easy to understand. I laughed out loud while I was reading this, and there were time when I wanted to cry. 
I highly recommend this book!!! You'll LOVE it!!!

Struggling with poor self-image issues, plus-sized Ann resolves to lose a significant amount of weight before standing as bridesmaid to her aunt, an effort that involves a diet plan, unfortunate dance lessons, and a series of romantic embarrassments.
