Technically, this is mom's book since it was part of her Christmas B&N allotment, but I stole it from her before she had a chance to read it. I had read a few reviews about it and the critics loved it.
This book follows a family whose mother is slowly killing herself by becoming obese and each family member's reaction to the situation.
I didn't like it because it was just depressing. I'm not always against depressing, but this book had no redeeming value for me. The characters were all bitter and I had a hard time identifying with any of them or any of the situations in the book. It was also weirdly sexual. So, I wouldn't recommend it.
I liked the cover, so I suppose it would be good for sitting on a shelf.
