I should start off by saying that this book is a romance really. I thought it would be, but I was looking for something distracting to read that I didn't have to put a lot of thought into. This is the story of Jemima Jones, who writes a tips column for a tiny newspaper in London. She has a huge crush on the hot guy at work who barely notices her, is overlooked at work, doesn't have any friends and lives with two dumb but attractive girls who don't care much about her all because she is fat. Well, she suddenly decides to start working out and eating right, because that's so easy to do, and drops tons of weight. Now she suddenly looks like a model and is going to California to meet some dream guy she met online. Of course her dream life is all going to fall magically in place. The back cover of the book lets you know that you wouldn't see the surprise ending coming. I saw it coming. My ten year old daughter, who I caught reading the back cover, saw it coming. **SPOILER ALERT** The dream guy in California is flawed. Shocker. And she ends up happily with the guy she was in love with before she went to California. Gasp! Not the surprise that I was promised, but it was the distracting piece of fluff that I needed.
