She’s Not Just A Snack....She’s A Whole Buffet: BBWS Do it Better
Big. Beautiful. Woman. That’s what everyone thinks when seeing the acronym BBW. Karizma, on the other hand, considers herself as being so much more. Brilliant. Bold. Witty.
Karizma could think of several words to break BBW down. For the right man, she could be Bare. Bendable. Wet. However, she chose to break it down, she’d do it without taking away the fact that she was all woman. A woman that was confident in herself and didn’t care what others thought of her. Growing up in poverty, she learned at an early age that she had to remain humble and never give up on something that she really wanted. The one thing she wanted, that she didn’t have, was a man. While she didn’t need a man to make her feel complete, she was over going home to an empty bed every night.
Maurice was the man that Karizma wanted in her life. She’d had a crush on him ever since high school, but was never able to express that to him, because he’d done everything in his power to degrade her and bring her self-esteem down. When he saw that he couldn’t break her, he figured that if he couldn’t beat her, then he needed to join her. While Karizma continued to push him away, Maurice was determined to do any and everything in his power to get her.
Lena and Renae were more than Karizma’s best friends; they were her sisters. The only problem was that out of all the people that Karizma could’ve ever thought would betray her, she never took them as the type to be disloyal to her. Knowing that Karizma would never be able to forgive them, they did whatever they could to keep their secret tucked away between the two of them.
This book is a true depiction of how you should never judge a book by its cover. Karizma was the total package, and nobody could tell her otherwise. Follow her as she shows the world that She’s Not Just A Snack... She’s A Whole Buffet.

Ok
There was a lot of contradictions in this book. Maurice and Renae were a mess. Larissa had confidence, then she would doubt herself. I didn't like the fact the author waited to the end for her to find someone to love her. There needs to be a book on Mason and Lena, also with Karizma and Jeremiah.

A well written story that has a steady flow. Great main character that is realistic, likeable and dealing with some real issues. A few surprising twist, but it is great to read about a NEW who knows her self worth.

Awesome!
I love Karizma's personality. I love her self-confidence, how she values her self-esteem and how accepting she is of herself. Her mom, in my eyes is great at showing her daughter how to defend herself, even though her mom is a little loud and unorthodox about her approach in bullying, but in the same token she equips Karizma with armor of protection she'll need from harmful words and negative attention. I'm glad that she knows her self worth. The flow of the storyline was great from beginning to end. I felt bad for what happened to Maurice and Renae because no matter how mean someone is you want to never wish anything bad and negative on them because that Karma is a Bitch! It feels absolutely amazing when you have other supportive friends in your corner especially a beautiful and we'll kept man that adores you no matter your size. Great Read! Loved It! ReneeG

Ok...so this book pissed me off so many times... I started not to finish it, but I said what the hell.. first of all ain’t no way in hell I would have given Maurice dirty, disrespectful ass another look or thought.. Karizma spent too much damn time telling him that she didn’t want him and to get out her house.. that shit was stupid... Plus he continued to call her names... Everything that he went though was his fault.. like take responsibility for your actions and ain’t no way she should have been feeling guilt. To me Lena wasn’t a good friend either. Why not just tell Karizma what’s going instead of holding in it? That shit was childish and immature.. As for Renae, her ass wasn’t good. How you drug your best friend? Jeremiah was the best character in this book. I wish there was written about him

Satisfied Reader
Gotta love a BBW. Karizma was taunted while in school and was betrayed by someone she'd considered a friend. I'm so glad she didnt let it dictate her future. She was successful, beautiful and smart. I couldn't understand why she let Maurice get in her head and bed. I didn't like him for the way he treated her. Renae was never a friend. Lena was a good friend but i figured she should've let her friend know what was up way before it spiraled out of control. Moral of the story no matter what size you are it don't give others a green light to disrespect you. Know your worth

Good book.
This was a great book. I'm glad that Karizma was confident to know her worth. She's the way Maurice played her she really bossed up. You know the saying Mother know best couldn't be more true in this book. She told Karizma that Renae wasn't no friend granted she said the same thing about Lena but she knew she had a heart of gold. I wished the story followed Jeremiah and Karizma more and also Lena and Mason relationship. Overall great read

Confidence and self worth
Karizma had a very hard childhood. What she went through in high school was horrible. I can't stand men like Maurice too ashamed to walk in their truth. Renae really made me see the envy in her. She was jealous but what she helped take part in was wrong.

Loved it!
I loved Karizma's mother...She built her daughter up like a real parent should. That makes the difference in a child's self-esteem. Hated Maurice and Renae. They both receive their karma. I'm happy I 1-click! I wasn't left disappointed.

I was glad the truth came out about Maurice and Renae. This BBW was good Karizma was in love with Maurice. I hated what happen to him. But he brought it on himself and Renae. Why Lena didn't tell Karizma they were friends

Good read!
I wish Maurice would have been able to tell her what happened in high school but then she may have ended up in Jail when she saw Rena. I wonder if the cop and Lena are still together? I am looking forward to A Mother's Prayer!

Good read
I think that this a good book especially for women that have low self esteem or even feel as though they don’t deserve love because they are BBW to let them know that everyone deserves happiness no matter size looks or even what others think of you.

I was thoroughly impressed with this read it wasn't anything like I actually expected it to be. I found myself laughing out loud at times. I liked the character development and the in depth looks into all of the other key players who were friend or foe in Karizma's life.

Love the story
Being a BBW myself you have to over come a lot of things because people can make you think you are less then what you are. When I tell you can win with BBW you better believe it

I loved it from beginning to end. I love how Karizma didn't let what Maurice selfish a## did all those years ago. Her mama and Lena ain't play no games when it came to her either so I love how she had the support.

There were a couple of errors but not enough to take away from the book. I will also read something else by this author. This book teaches you a lot about confidence. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Good but..
I found myself quite disturbed by the way that the adults acted at their 10-year anniversary, all being late 20's to 30 yrs of age, the belittling and all was insane. Otherwise, it's a good read.
