I felt the main character was one-dimensional in that she only views her weight loss through the dimensions of her relationships with men. She never explores how she feels about it in relation to her self-esteem (and isn't that usually what women's weight issues are really tied to???) I felt like I never really got to know the character because I never got inside her head. Disappointing because it could've been a great book. This book was interesting. At first I thought it was a work of non-fiction, so I was relieved that in fact her husband did NOT leave her after she lost all the weight. There were things about this book I really liked - her struggles with living after the divorce, her honest tone. I also liked the descriptions of food. I'm not sure that she really was describing healthy food, because the way she describes it sometimes makes it sound waaay too good to be true. The recipes in the back were an interesting touch, but I didn't bother copying them or using any of them. The ending, as people have said, pretty disappointing and abrupt.
This is the first of her books I've read and I really liked it a lot. Enough to buy a few more.
