You should definitely stop by The Socratic Salon tomorrow, Sarah, as I’m on my own in not loving the book!

(This may be narrow-minded, but I probably wouldn’t have read a novel about an overweight woman working at a teen magazine if it weren’t for the feminist fight club vibe.) I’m looking forward to the Socratic Salon discussion!

And, I’m really glad to hear a different opinion. I’ve shied away from this one because the premise just seemed outlandish (especially the Jennifers!), but keep hearing so many good things that I added it to my “must at least try before the end of the year” list. I do love the quote you shared here, though. But, now I’m feeling just a little less pressure to give it a go 🙂
