i stayed in bed extra long to finish up “Good in Bed,” and it was wll worth it. my earlier disillusionment at some of the predictability was erradicated by a few delicious plot twists. yummy!
i loved it. i spent a goodly amount of time having to put the book down and just sobbing. just too many similarities to my own life for comfort. especially all the dad stuff, and abandonment– just broke my heart right in two.
at one point the guy whose interested in the main character, cannie, says, “you’ve had so much sadness.”
that’s when i had to put the book down, curl up on my side, pull the comforter tighter around me and just cry for a good 10 minutes. in my head i wrote a really flowery post about fat girls and sadness. then i thought better, because one should really, really not write such stuff when in the midst of PMS.
really, it’s better for everyone involved. if the idea still nags at me in a week, maybe then i will.
so two thumbs up for “Good in Bed.” it’s a good story with a wonderful character.
I like the title!
Hrm, I also found myself in bed finishing up reading “Good in Bed” today. It’s the second or thrid time I’ve read it, but it’s still good. I understand what you mean though, what Cannie’s gone through resonates with a lot of what I’ve gone through, in some way. Glad you didn’t think it was too predicatable. I’m now anxiously awaiting In Her Shoes.
