Good in Bed

So i bought this book for my research. Initially the plan was to write my dissertation on Chick lit but somehow the plan didn't work out and i changed to British Drama instead of chick lit. 

Since the book had been lying about in my book shelf for so long, i decided to give it a go. the cover also looked appealing and i was in mood for a light read so in i went for a quirky, funny , romantic read, or so i thought!!

The story's about this plus size woman, Cannie and her break up with her boyfriend Bruce followed by their "getting back together moment" after the death of Bruce's father and the result of this rekindling, Cannie become pregnant! Then follows her struggle to keep herself distracted from continuously thinking about Bruce and if they should get back together, if he still loves her, does he care about her.... and all those "what if.." and "should i ?" scenarios popping up in Cannie's mind....

And what you may ask is the reason for their break up in the first place? Well, it's the article that Bruce writes about Cannie whom he addresses as "C" for the Moxie magazine. 

"Loving a Larger Woman" !!

and so he continues to write about her in every monthly issue of Moxie, revealing intimate experiences that the two shared in their private moments. 

Then follows Cannie's introduction with Dr. K, who eventually turns out to be the hero in Cannie's life with whom she and her daughter, Joy, settle down. 

In between all this, there's the part dealing with Cannie's personal life, her parents - lesbian mother living with her new partner who's taken up Cannie's room in her mother's house (much to Cannie's distress) and a father who abandoned his kids and who with his constant criticism of his daughter's body turns out to be the sole reason why Cannie hates herself, the way she looks! Then there's the part where the heroine stumbles upon a celebrity, Maxi who is so impressed by her that she lets her stay with her in all the luxuries that a celebrity status can shower and who helps her in realizing her biggest dream, publishing her screenplay!

And i guess that's pretty much it! I did not really enjoy reading it and had to constantly remind myself that since i've started it i must end it and not leave it half-way. The second part of the book was much batter than the first half.

The best part though - 

Cannie's article in the end that she publishes in Moxie that exposes Bruce. I thought it was very well written and i enjoyed reading it more than anything else.
