Plump, pretty and witty, dumped by her boyfriend, abandoned by her father, loved by her dog, a nagging late in life lesbian mother, a bestfriend that always finds the wrong man, co-worker threatened by her skills and personality, fast friendship with a pop singer/movie star. I thought this would be one of those books that would suck me in and I would read it straight through. The only thing that kept me reading was the thought it HAS to get good soon. It didn't. Sigh...........
