Rediscover the modern classic than launched the career of the #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Everything and Big Summer
with this beautiful anniversary edition of her "contemporary Cinderella
tale told with intelligence, wit, and style" (Susan Isaacs, New York
Times bestselling author).
For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for
Cannie Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet,
and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves
her friends, her rat terrier, and her job as pop culture reporter for
The Philadelphia Examiner. She's finally even made a tenuous peace
with her plus-size body.
But when she opens up a national women's magazine and sees the words
"Loving a Larger Woman" above her ex-boyfriend's byline, Cannie is
plunged into misery...and the most amazing year of her life. From
Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course
for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who
she is and who she can become.
An unforgettable novel full of charm and heart, "Good In Bed offers a
sensitive telling of a life familiar to many and a humorous take on how
the struggle can end in joy" (Associated Press).
