Review: Ugh.  I was hoping this would be a fun story with a non-traditional heroine, but it's just sad

full disclosure: weight has been a life-long struggle for me, so I may be slightly more sensitive about this topic than the average readerBut because of that very struggle, I thought I'd really enjoy this story, where the princess is not a willowy young women.  Instead, we are told about how Valeria is stuffing her face with cream puffs (and thankfully her hair is in a braid, so it doesn't drag through the mess), her buttons are popping off, heels are breaking, and she waddles.Sure, she ends up with a nice guy at the end, but that happy ending does not justify all the "humor" that is just plain demeaning.
