Marcin Czester chesssterrofa39 — It's been a long time since I've read this book. But I remember the pertinent details. Jemima, an "ugly duckling" (basically a woman who is plus-size, doesn't have highlights, and dresses comfortably instead of fashionably), is in love with her co-worker. Because she's an ugly duckling, of course, he doesn't notice her. So Jemima starts online chatting with a hot guy from California who, for the obvious ironic twist, owns a gym and is hyper into fitness. After chatting for awhile, he wants a picture of Jemima. Jemima panicks, but not to worry--her friend does a photoshop touch-up of her that makes her face thinner and her hair blonder. In other words, her friend makes her hot. (Whatever happened to "you're great, just the way you are"?) And of course, the guy from California wants to meet her. What does Jemima do, then? She starts going to the gym. And not just once a day four or five times a week, like most people who want to get into/remain in shape. No, Jemima goes for three hours a day, seven days a week, sometimes going twice a day. The only part where the author concedes that this is unhealthy behavior is a brief observation by one of the trainers at Jemima's gym. And that's it. So Jemima becomes basically emaciated, meets the hot guy in California, and they start a relationship. Even though something is off. There are a couple of twists at the end trying to justify that Jane Green has created a character with hardcore eating disorders (first binge eating and then bulemia through exercising compulsively) and has barely acknowledged it. And as the story starts to wind down, she drops anvils as hints, so the reader has to be pretty dim to not see where she's going. Her POV is shaky and torn between being a preachy narrator and being the character. It's annoying to see one paragraph that is Jemima, and the next SPEAKING to Jemima. On the plus side, it was fast and easy to read. But definitely a big, unhealthy ball of stereotypes.
