Review: Okay. Nothing to write home about

I was not bowled over by this title. Okay writing, okay premise. Usually I like stories about plus sized girls finding love. This story's 'weight politics' made me kind of uncomfortable. To find love, the heroine, who is described as plain and plus sized, has to go to another world where the humanoid population is so much bigger that the heroine seems small and petite in comparison. The message here seems to be that only giant aliens can appreciate a plus sized girl, because the plus sized girl seems tiny to them. Ergo, men prefer tiny women all across the universe. Also, the villainous lizard men are gross.
