I would like to tell you about Big Girls Don't Cry by Cathie Linz. This is a great lighthearted book about a plus size model, Leena Riley, falling in love with the hot town veterinarian, Cole Flannigan.
As a kid Cole had the bad idea of making fun of her weight. I say "bad idea" because she punches him and 15 years later everyone in the small town of Rock Creek remembers the incident and Cole can't live it down.
This is the third book I've read by Cathie Linz. The characters are introduced in the first book "Good Girls Do." A great book about a bad boy named Luke and a small town librarian, Julia. The second book is "Bad Girls Don't" with Julia's sister Skye and the straight-laced town sheriff Nathan, who is best friends with Cole in "Big Girls Don't Cry."
All three books are winners. Cathie Linz has a humorous writing style and memorable characters. For example, there is the nun who taught Skye how to get out of handcuffs. Leena's sister, Sue Ellen, who manages a trailer park and drives a pink car nicknamed "Batmobile." There's Lulu the teenage Goth girl and the cat named Gravity.
These books make a great series but are also great if read out of order (as I did).
Until next time...
