Even the book cover and design are fun, and make you want to pick up and read. <br/>But I wouldn't put this on my favorites, or rate it a 5 star, because for many parts of the book, I was actu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22815868">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is one of the most disturbing books I have read about someone's weight loss and life journey.  I don't mean that in an insulting way.  But Ms. Blech just shared so much raw emotion and so much about, what seems to me, a very self-loathing sex life, I feel like she must be a very courageous...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43396769">more...</a>]]></body>
