Ok, before I give you all the negatives of this book, I'll give you one positive. The beginning is a great intro. Mitzy is very witty and smart mouthed. I found myself laughing out loud. But the storyline, OUCH! Mitzy works at an office where she's surrounded by stick thin beautiful women. And she's the "fat" girl. Her boss is retiring and the new boss is rumoured to be this sexy as hell male God. All the other girls are trying to impress him, but she could care less. She feels he wouldn't be interested because men are not attracted to fat women. Plus dating within the company is against policy rules. Well as soon as she meets Steven, she can confirm that he's definitely a hottie. And surprisingly his intentions are to seduce her. This is when I began to get somewhat offended. Steven mentioned that all of the females are thin. And he's been so aggressive about seducing her because she's the only big girl ( and he's into big girls). Later, we found out he kind of broke up with someone because Mitzy had more to offer cause she was heavier. WHAT?!! And all through the book all I kept reading was her comparing herself to a whale, hippo, or her having a big butt and fat thighs. In the meanwhile, Steven is allowing her to talk like that or he himself is making his settle comments. I found it to be demeaning. They're plus size women who don't eat every chance they get and do exercise on a regular basis. I found it to be very stereotyped. And as for Steven, we all have our preferences, but for him just to like her because she's big is wrong. Just like a man who only chooses to be with skinny women because she's skinny. Same scenario. They're relationship was too rushed and not convincing.  And, I'm sorry but I really didn't like where this book went.
