Good In Bed
Good In Bed | Jennifer Weiner
From the bestselling author of In Her Shoes, All Fall Down and the forthcoming novel Who Do You Love, Good in Bedis a funny and tender story full of heart. Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. And for the past twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie. 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 job, her friends, her dog and her life. She loves her apartment and her commodious, quilt-lined bed. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with her boyfriend Bruce. But now this... 'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world,' Bruce has written in a national woman's magazine. And Cannie - who never knew that Bruce saw her as a larger woman, or thought that loving her was an act of courage - is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life.

I enjoy Jennifer Weiner books and this was no exception. It was a fun story with a good main character. I would recommend this book.

Mehso-so

loved the first 80% of this book, but the last part dragged. A classic rom-com story, Cannie struggles to accept herself, her weight, and get over an ex, but surrounded with good friends, she goes on a journey of self-realization. Fun on audio, tho I wish the narrator had properly pronounced the Yiddish and Hebrew words in the book - small gripe. This was the first book I‘ve read by this author and would read another.

I grabbed this book from our local little free library thinking “I loved Jennifer Egan‘s book A Visit from the Goon Squad”. Yes I know. I had my Jennifer‘s mixed up. I worked this out about 70 pages in when I was thinking the story isnt that riveting and the writing nothing special. Anyway I ditched it. So I can‘t very well rate it now.

JacqMac I have done this. I hate it when I confuse my authors. But I‘m so terrible with names. (edited) 5y
TheCuriousHousecat @JacqMac easy done. I won‘t confuse these Jennifer‘s anymore though. Such different writers. 5y

I read this years ago but picked it up because of the title. I then proceeded to read it and laugh my ass off, along with sharing teary moments for the main character. My favorite book of hers and my #favoritetitle for today.

A sweet little love story that is not as raunchy as the title suggests. I really enjoyed it. A nice, light read. 🐙

No matter how your 2017 was, I hope that you learned a lot and are ready for the fresh start of a new year. #Celebrate. You made it! Happy 2018. I wish you enough. ❤️ And thanks to @TK-421 for such a fun photo challenge. If I drop off the radar again in a week, it is because school has started again. #quotsy #quotsydec17 Also, I‘m cheating and making this work for the #survivingdecember prompt, too. I mean, it is about being good in bed. 😂

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this book was a little more... it is laugh-out-loud funny at times, but has some darkness and lemotional punch. The main character is complex, and does some things that are not nice, but that makes her more real for me. I really enjoyed this!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I basically read this in one long sitting. My eyes hurt and my house has not cleaned itself, so it's time to put on an audiobook and get moving. 😂

A light fun reading. "At first my eyes wouldn't make sense of the letters. Finally, they unscrambled." Loving a Larger Woman, "said the headline, by Bruce Guberman. Bruce Guberman had been my boyfriend for just over three years, until we'd decided to take a break three months ago. And the larger woman, I could only assume, was me."

I really enjoyed this book! Really loved the main character and I was pulled into her life and her struggles and her triumphs! Her voice was real, sarcastic at times and brutally honest at others, which kept me hooked! I did want to shake her a few times, but only because I cared :) ...

I guess this is what they call a "beach read." Well, I'm nowhere near the sand and the waves, but that didn't put a damper on my enjoyment of this one.

Op/Ed piece from Jennifer Weiner in the NYTimes about the divide between Literary (with a capital L) & popular fiction, & her own fears about her place in that debate. "Maybe what's behind the inequity isn't just a lack of opportunity, but an inability...to step up and say My work matters."

Loretta Ooo, I'll have to make sure to read this one. I've really appreciated her statements on this issue in the past. 8y
Notafraidofwords Oh I need to read this. 8y
SusanInTiburon Me too; I like that she's smart and serious about what used to be called "middlebrow" fiction. 8y
See All 16 Comments
TheWellReadOwl @Loretta @Notafraidofwords @Susanintiburon She's so great ❤️ and honest about her own insecurities. 8y
KellyHerself She is amazing. Jonathan Franzen's very sexist responses to her other op/ed pieces caused me to take his books to a used bookstore and sell them without having read them. Ain't nobody got time for sexists. 8y
Pelican71 I won one of her books at Bunco last week. So much truth in this article. I hate that there is a bias about book genres. My book taste vary but I have to admit that I resist talking about some books with a few of my friends because of labels. What difference should it make as long as we're reading? 8y
TheWellReadOwl @KellyInLA @Pelican71 We have so much power as readers. We can choose how to spend our $. I will never apologize for reading something that someone in an ivory tower declares is not "Literary", whether it's romance or mystery or horror or YA or middle grade. If I like it, I read it. Period. 8y
Pelican71 @KellyInLA I was not happy when I read that; it certainly puts him in a new light for me. 8y
Mayread Some genre fiction is terribly written, but I've also been floored by the lack of craft in some of the most recently hyped lit fiction. Franzen should stick to his bird obsession and learn some manners. 8y
TheWellReadOwl @Skiles Agreed and agreed! 8y
