Fireside by Susan Wiggs

"...and she looked almost pretty, in a chubby way." This was when I finally decided I didn't like this book. Also, I won't be reading Wiggs again. Not just for this comment, but the overall story was contrived and bland, and the characters just sort of faded in and out-they didn't have any real depth, they were solely there to move the plot along, or to help the two main characters realize they loved each other. As a romance, it was weak and there really wasn't much chemistry.
Kim is stunningly beautiful, and she's truly physically perfect, and blah blah blah. It was like reading Twilight and hearing about how gorgeous Edward is-AGAIN. But to withstand all the gushing of Kim's jaw-dropping good looks (a few characters in the book actually did drop their jaws when first seeing her), and then to hear that some poor girl was ALMOST pretty in a chubby way. I actually rolled my way then put the book down. Ultimately, I finished, but I'm totally turned off from this book and this author.
I don't recommend this book, unless you're at an airport and this is the only book or magazine available for sale. And you're desperate.
