She goes through feelings of disappointment, rejection, low self-esteem, and utter hopelessness. Sometimes I didn't even remember I was only reading a book and would have to put it down to process what I had just read. Her character goes through such a whirlwind of emotions and I was right there beside her. Elly Jordan is a chubby 32 year old who goes through a most devastating lost in her life. Review 2: Have you ever read a book and think 'Man, this character is me!'? Well, I told myself this more than once while reading Elly's story. If you like Chick Lit and a light read, then this is certainly the book for you! more and I look forward to many more adventures. I enjoyed this novel so much, Elly became a fast friend.

There will be times you'll laugh with her and others you'll want to cry with her. She takes us her journey (with a few bumps in the road) to finding herself and overcoming heartbreak. Elly is written to be a realistic main character with the desires and insecurities we all have. Suddenly her whole world is turned upside down and that's when Elly realizes she's much stronger than she had ever thought.This was a fantastic first novel by author Colleen Oakes. That is, until that fateful day when she catches him with another woman. So when a handsome artist sweeps her off her feet, she falls deeply in love.

Review 1: I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
