Liza Palmer will have readers cheering as she explores friendship,
true love, and self-acceptance in this "engaging and poignant" (Jennifer
Weiner) novel.
Everyone seems to be getting on with their lives except Maggie. At
twenty-seven, she's still serving coffee at Joe's while her friends are
getting married, having babies, and thriving in their careers. And now
Olivia, Maggie's best friend since grade school, is getting married too.
The man in Maggie's life? Well there isn't one, except the guy she has a
crush on, Domenic, who works with her at the coffee shop. Oh, and her
dog, Solo (the name says it all).
When Olivia comes to town and asks Maggie to be her maid of honor,
Maggie is thrilled... but she can't help comparing herself to the new
and "improved" Olivia. Way back then, they befriended each other because
they both struggled with their weight. Now grown up, Maggie is still
shopping in the "women's section" while Olivia went and had
gastric-bypass surgery in search of the elusive size 2. But as the
wedding nears, Olivia's seemingly perfect life starts to unravel, and
Maggie realizes that happiness might not be tied to a number on the
scale.
In this wonderful novel, Liza Palmer is both witty and wise, giving a
voice to women everywhere who have ever wished they could stop
obsessing... and start living.
