HTML:#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner brings to life an irresistibly funny and relatable heroine in the novel The Boston Globe called "funny, fanciful, extremely poignant, and rich with insight." 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.… (más)
A los 28 años, Cannie Shapiro cree que su vida ha sido razonablemente feliz. Es una periodista de reconocido talento, a quien sus amigos consideran divertida e independiente. Quizá demasiado agobiada por sus eternos problemas de peso y los constantes conflictos con los hombres, está siempre dispuesta a ver el lado cómico de las cosas y es capaz de reaccionar con ironía frente a las situaciones más difíciles. Ese sentido del humor le permite aceptar con filosofía la separación temporal que, después de tres años de relación, le propone su novio Bruce. Pero cuando ojea la revista femenina de moda y descubre un texto firmado por su anterior pareja, se siente destrozada por un artículo que considera una humillación pública.

Home is so sad. It stays as it was left, Shaped to the comfort of the last to go As if to win them back. Instead, bereft Of anyone to please, it withers so, Having no heart to put aside the theft And turn again to what it started as, A joyous shot at how things ought to be, Long fallen wide. You can see how it was: Look at the pictures and the cutlery. The music in the piano stool. That vase. —Philip Larkin
Love is nothing, nothing, nothing like they say —Liz Phair
