Miss Invisible

Left by a patron at the one of the local spots that has a BookCrossing bookshelf, so I left a book in it's place and thought I'd give it a try. It's a romance about a big girl, rather than a stick thin New York Magazine/PR/fashion person. Plus it's got cake in it.

Light, diversionary read, with bits about catering and cooking that interested me, and other bits that left me 100% cold. But the underlying theme of be true to yourself and trust in God, is a good one, to my mind. There were a couple of plot details that really bugged me, but this isn't fine literature we're talkin' about, so I let it ride. I may hold this til the next meetup because I think one of the local bookcrossers would enjoy this. Maybe. Maybe not. I am often wrong.

I had read "Reconstructing Natalie" before meeting the author at my sister's church 's summer book club meeting and this was the other book to be read; and some read both books. I really enjoyed the humor, and the food descriptions made me hungry It even got a bit sad near the end, but all turned out fine. I hope to read more of this author in the future.

This novel was a nice departure after some more serious reading. I enjoyed the basic storyline: a self-conscious, overweight twenty-something realizes that she is fine, just the way she is. But, I have to say that I found Freddie, the main character, to be a little over the top – a little too neurotic and hard on herself. Luckily, Walker surrounds Freddie with a multitude of well developed and realistic personalities. These characters work together to give Freddie a new lease on life.

A pleasant read - I would recommend you grab this one on your way to the beach.

Sweet book. I liked that the heroine did not lose a ton of weight to be happy. Minimal religion, but definitely preachy in parts. Read it quickly and remember little of it. No sex at all, no innuendo, totally G rated.

For the most part I really liked this book - there were just a few things that I had to wonder about.
