The latest book I finished is Big Girl Panties By Stephanie Evanovich. This book has a little bit of everything; humor, romance, drama, family, etc.I found myself yearning to know the story behind Holly's witty comebacks and tenacious personality as she climbed her way out of a dark hole of depression with the help of Logan. Logan is Holly's complete opposite in both physical and mental. Logan is strong, handsome and the catch of all guy crazy girls. He's the popular guy in high school.
In a coincidental change of plans both Holly and Logan meet on an airplane ride home. Holly was disheveled and overweight finds herself sitting next to New Jersey's version of a GQ model. Both make a first impression on the other that is soon rocked by the hard work and dedication that Holly puts into moving forward with her life after heartbreak and loss.
Logan finds himself questioning every relationship he's had in the past as he get's to know Holly. His image and ideals of what is expected of him begin to unravel as he finds that not only is he falling for Holly's new body, but for her mind as well.
This book goes from funny to steamy in the turn of a page. It's one that I actually asked my friends to read just so I can talk about it because it feels like a fairytale in a plus size girls world. If Disney made rated R movies I could totally be princess Holly from New Jersey.
While many people have given this book a poor rating because of Logan's first impression of Holly I find it's true and accurate to the way men and the world work. Our image, unfortunately, is seen first and there are stereotypes that we either have to break or make. Holly and Logan both do that in their own storylines throughout this book.
I recommend this book with the advice of keeping an open mind and letting your stereotypes go. By far one of my new all-time favorites.
