From the Publisher:

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, Nifkin, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She''s even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body.

But the day 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.

I have to say that while I love Ms. Weiner's writing, this book impressed me a lot. It is well written, well formulated, well plotted, and well rounded book. There was nothing that this book lacked.

I seem to recall that Good In Bed was recommended to me by a good friend, and after I had time to look at the book and digest it, I found there were some interestingly striking personality similarities between Cannie and my friend. It was interesting to read it and think that the words coming out of Cannie's mouth could totally be coming out of my friend's mouth instead.

I won't go into the premise of the book - you can get that by looking at the first section of this review. I will say that it was fantastic. That it is a great read, and that you won't be disappointed.
