Big Girl
by Danielle Steel
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways...
I must admit, this was my first Danielle Steele. I can promise -- if any of her others are remotely close to BIG GIRL, it will definitely be my last.
Where do I begin? For starters, I feel like Ms. Steel has been locked away in some backwards universe without any social contact for --- eh, 50 years, maybe? Then one bright sunny day she walked outside and thought, hmmm, nothing's changed! AMAZING! Time to write a book that will really appeal to the masses!
I mean, geez, talk about weak women. Women with no backbone. Women that let men walk all over them, without shame.
And, OMG, the character of Victoria is RIDICULOUS. We're supposed to believe that she's extremely tall with gorgeous, long legs and stunning blonde hair and "too big" breasts, but she's bullied and teased because she's not pretty by society's standards. RIGHT, because last I checked, society really had a thing against tall leggy blondes with big boobs.
Oh, but wait. She's overweight. Like, downright obese. THAT's why she's teased. Except... oh... we find out later she's something like 12-15 pounds heavier than the ideal. Like anyone would even notice that on a tall, leggy, big-boobed, blonde right?
But, kids, there is a lesson to be learned here. If you do WHATEVER it takes to lose weight, you will find a man and he will fall in love with you.
But, of course, he loves you for what you are deep down inside. The rest is just a coincidence.
Oh, and as an aside, if you're wondering about the writing style of this one... remember those old-school Dick and Jane novels? See Dick run. See Jane run. That about sums it up.
