女主角Cannie是一位伶俐、能力佳、個性率直的流行文化專欄記者,一直都很滿意自己的工作。雖然長得並不是美如天仙,身材也略為豐滿—但自己並不是很在意,與一般的女孩子一樣心思細膩、感情豐富。
被坎妮甩了的前男友-布魯斯,他在雜誌專欄中把他們的性生活公開出來的那天起,她的生命就完全改變了。文中娓娓道出相愛過程的點滴心情,讓她發現了自己所失去的是一個最了解也最愛她的人。但遺憾的是,愛情一旦消逝就很難再尋回。
她的生活因此陷入了愁雲慘霧,展開了歷經波折的心碎旅程,從重重挫折中逐漸找回自信,尋得真愛。
作者文筆機智幽默,把Cannie的心情表達得淋漓盡致,同時也緊緊扣住每個女人的心弦,整本書充滿著驚喜與苦中帶樂趣味,令人愛不釋手。

作者簡介
Jennifer Weiner
出生於路易斯安那州,在學期間即得過普林斯頓大學美國詩人獎,之後為多家報紙、雜誌如《費城追查報》、《柯夢波丹》、《Mademoiselle》、《封面人物》等雜誌撰寫專欄文章,現在已是全球知名的暢銷小說作家。著作有Good In Bed(書林進口)、In Her Shoes(書林進口)、Little Earthquake等書。
《Good In Bed》是Jennifer Weiner的第一本小說,一上市即佳評如潮,榮獲《紐約時報》與《出版家週報》暢銷書。她的第二本著作《In Her Shoes》即將登上大螢幕,由卡麥蓉狄亞演出電影女主角。
At first my eyes wouldn't make sense of the letters. Finally, they unscrambled. Loving a Larger Woman, said the headline, by Bruce Guberman. Bruce Guberman had been my boyfriend for just over three years, until we'd decided to take a break three months ago. And the larger woman, I could only assume, was me.
Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized pop culture reporter was perfectly content writing about other people's lives on the pages of the Philadelphia Examiner. But the day she opens up a national women's magazine to find out that her ex-boyfriend has been chronicling their ex-sex life is the day her life changes forever.
Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world, Bruce has written. And Cannie — who never knew that Bruce saw her as a "larger woman," or thought that loving her was an act of courage — is plunged into misery, and into the most amazing year of her life.
Radiant with wit, bursting with surprises, and written with bite and bittersweet humor, Jennifer Weiner's deliciously readable debut novel reaches beyond Cannie's story and into the heart of every woman. Gut-level real and laugh-out-loud funny, Good in Bed celebrates the courage of the human spirit, and features an unbelievably funny cast of supporting characters, the strangest dog you'll ever encounter, and a heroine you'll never forget.
