What I loved....
focusing on the weight aspect and that you do not have to be a size 8 to find love.
And the women's rights aspect.

What I didnt love....
A very long listen, for them to still not fully end up together

I did have to increase the speed of my libby to 1.55 just to get the female narrator to spead the heak up

As always, Jennifer Weiner delivers an engaging read. The characters and their interactions were realistic and relatable. The setting in Philadelphia was great for me since I was born and raised there.
