Publisher's summary
Sometimes you need to take a chance...on yourself.
Plus-sized Rachel Simon has settled into her life. But in a lifetime (so far) of not-quite fitting in and battling demon food issues, she has given up on finding love, despite the well-meaning nagging of her close circle of friends.
Now, Rachel has received some big news: a fashion blog, which she secretly wrote on the side, has caught the eye of a major fashion magazine, who not only want her to write a column, but are giving her an award at an upcoming banquet. The problem? She used Lisa’s picture on her bio and believes they expect a tall beautiful blonde to walk through the doors of the magazine.
She asks Lisa to pose as her at an upcoming meeting, as well the awards banquet, believing that she would lose everything if they knew someone who looks like Rachel was behind the writing. Then she meets Nathan: cute, smart, and just a little bit weird, but she’s absolutely convinced men like that don’t ask out “fat girls” like her, and places him decidedly in the Friend Zone. And to her dismay, she finds that her best friend has decided to date him.
Along her journey toward love, self-acceptance, and being true to oneself, Rachel finds that sometimes, “Men do make passes at girls who wear glasses.”

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,176
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Fat Shaming Trigger Warning*****Spoilers
I really wanted to like this book. But honestly, it's really just 9 hours of fat shaming. This book just made me angry. Rachel is a size 16, the average size of the average woman in America. The whole book is just talking about Rachels emotional eating problem. At no point in the book, does she address her body image, just the hint of the emotional eating. Her friends are awful with the exception of Nathan and Brennan. Her friends fat shame her just as bad as she shames herself. Lisa and Josie are self absorbed narcissists and Rachel is avoiding confrontation. I had to force myself to listen to the whole book because I was hoping the ending would bring the relief of Rachel finally having it out with everyone and it didn't. I don't think the writers intention was to write 90 thousand words of fatphobia but that was the result.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
