I really thought this would be a trite mushy romance. It was the monthly read from the Christian Fiction book club, so I entered reading the book thinking it was something that was a proselytizing book with an obvious plot. Well, yes, it was an obvious plot, and it did have the entire "get off your cell phone and talk to your family" type of message, but it was a cute book. It was a beach read during my spring break, and I have to admit, I wanted to know exactly how it turned out (it wasn't a surprise, I just felt like I had to finish it to make sure the two romance interests got together). My only beef with it was that once "Pudge" lost weight in college, boys started to like her. Of course, her main interest liked her before the weight loss, but there was a lot of focus on the way men looked at her. What about the health aspect? Just speaking from Pudge's experience.
