Sunny Weston has struggled with her weight for a long
time. She has dieted her way down to a slimmer figure but
she still feels the same emotions as when she was heavier.
Sunny thought a leaner body would be the answer to all of
her problems, but she was wrong. Sure she snagged Adrian,
her dream man, but does she really want to be with a man
who never wanted to talk to her when she was fat? Sunny's
friends aren't supportive of her weight loss. They seem to
resent her for being so obsessed with staying fit.
One day while waiting for the gym to open, Sunny sees a
boy being kidnapped and jumps in to save him. While
tackling the kidnapper, she meets fellow Good Samaritan,
Cagney James, private investigator. Cagney and Sunny have
an instant chemistry, if you call screaming at each other
and constantly fighting chemistry. Deep down they know
they're perfect for each other but both refuse to admit
it. Cagney is thrice divorced and the last thing he wants
is another ditzy blonde in his life.
How will Sunny ever be able to see her new self when all
she can see is who she used to be? Is changing your
outward appearance a meaningless task if you still feel
ugly inside? How can Sunny feel as beautiful inside as she
looks outside?
While dating Adrian, her dream man from work, Sunny starts
to wonder if he's everything she dreamed him to be. Sure
he's good looking and great in the sack, but there has to
be more. Sunny needs a man who she has things in common
with, someone she can trust, someone who will love her fat
or thin, ugly or pretty, unconditional love. She starts to
wonder if she is wasting her time with Adrian while her
real dream man is standing right in front of her.
Can Sunny see past good looks and say goodbye to gorgeous
Adrian and follow her heart to true love?
I thought THE PERFECT FIT would be a fantastic book. After
all, one of my favorite authors, Karyn Bosnak, has a blurb
on the back cover of this book praising it. I loved her
book so I assumed this book would be similar and just as
good.
Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The book started
off great but nosedived into the mud with the
unbelievable, unrealistic, kidnapping fiasco. The main
character, Sunny Weston, is extremely unlikable,
egotistical, arrogant and thoughtless. I tried to feel
compassion for this former fat girl turned skinny, stuck
up, person, but I felt nothing for her.
The ending did not sum up the story at all and it felt
like the author was just trying to write her
quick ''happily ever after'' and get it done with.
Overall, the book is easy to read and somewhat interesting
if mild romance and weak characters are your cup of tea.
Sunny Weston
always wanted to be perfect . . . and that meant being thin.
Now, after
what seemed like a million years on the treadmill—and a
million miles
from the nearest brownie—she finally fits into those slinky
black
dresses she's been eyeing for years.
But being a
perfect size
doesn't necessarily equal a perfect life. Suddenly Sunny's
best friends
are all bitter and jealous. She's become a stranger in her
own body.
And though her longtime work crush, Adrian, is finally her
boyfriend,
she's totally confused now that charming, daringly dapper
Cagney has
appeared on the scene. Worst of all, she's worried that the
recipe for
a happy life might not be low-calorie after all.
Maybe it's time for Sunny to discover that the true secret
to happiness isn't constantly feeling hollow.
