Sweet, bookish Neve Slater always plays by the rules. And the number one rule is that good-natured fat girls like her don't get guys like gorgeous, handsome William, heir to Neve's heart since university. But William's been in LA for three years, and Neve's been slimming down and re-inventing herself so that when he returns, he'll fall head over heels in love with the new, improved her. So she's not that interested in other men. Until her sister Celia points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then she'd better get some, well, experience. What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia's colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexy Max. And since he's such a man-slut, and so not Neve's type, she certainly won't fall for him. Because William is the man for her... right? Somewhere between losing weight and losing her inhibitions, Neve's lost her heart - but to who?… (meer)

A romantic comedy. Book loving, insecure Neve falls for charming, man-slut Max, in a story that keeps you coming back for more.
I was disappointed with this book. Not because it isn’t a good book, it is, but more because I didn’t feel it was as good as previous books by the same author.

I think the first few chapters were the best. I was uncomfortable reading about Max and Neve’s first meeting, but this is how I wanted to be. As Sarra Manning challenges my view on prostitution in [b:Unsticky|5981262|Unsticky|Sarra Manning|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1278271300s/5981262.jpg|6154611], I wanted her to challenge my view on dress size. This book didn’t. If anything, it confirmed stereotypes. I was disappointed at the ending as I thought it could have been stronger. Neve having built on her self-confidence should have been stronger.

That said I did thoroughly enjoy the book. I found it amusing, the writing flowed easily and the characters were likable. I liked the relationship between Neve and her sister-in-law Charlotte, I thought Charlottes view of Neve and her own feelings were interesting to me in understanding Neve’s character. The story was well paced and kept me reading, even when I should have been doing something else.

"A Book by an author you've never read" ( )

Neve and Max meet when Neve's sister drags her along to a party. Neve suffers from a low self-image due to having been morbidly obese. She has lost a lot of weight, but her mind has not accepted her new shape. Max has his own personal demons. They decide to have a temporary relationship in which Neve will work on her confidence and Max will learn what it means to be in a relationship.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. I especially liked the interaction between Neve and Max. They are very cute together and their characters were very believable. I wasn't as enamored with the parts of the story where Neve interacts with her friends and family. Although I understand Neve's hangup with her weight, I thought the author really over emphasized and dragged on about it. I would have liked to have known more about Max's background than we were given. Although predictable, I was very satisfied with the ending. ( )

It was ok, a little boring and very predictable.
Also, this book made me understand why men hate women who do nothing but whine about their weight. It started to get very annoying and was part of the reason why I didn't enjoy it as much in the end. She may be overweight and she may want to slim down, that's all fine and dandy but I need more story than that. A person is more than just the number on the scale and it was just lacking more of a personality and story for me. ( )

Sweet, that is the perfect word to describe this story...

So, so, sweet.

A young woman named Neve has struggled her whole life with her weight and loneliness, so much in fact that she decided to do whatever was in her power to change her life around and get the man of her dreams to fall madly in love with her. He is away in California and has been for the past three years. She lost weight, she feels a bit better about herself and the only thing that is still an unmarked territory is....relationships....

She never had one, and needs to get some experience pronto!

She meets Max at a party and has a disastrous one night stand that leaves her more bummed about her future then anything.

Neve needs a trial relationship to get any insight on how things work. Max needs a trial relationship to get to the bottom of his man-whoreness.

They strike a deal, the rest is history. ( )
