Publisher's Summary:
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 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 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.

A Genuine Surprise
This was not at all what I expected but was a real treat. She is someone you can easily relate to and you get caught up so readily in her challenges.
Finally! A Plus-Size Happy Ending!
I love this book. A "normal" woman, not a stick figure with Farrah Fawcett hair and perfect teeth, gets the good guy! You can really put yourself in the shoes of this woman as her life takes unplanned turns. She DOES have a life. Most authors, and Hollywood, want us to think that if you are larger than a size 4, you never get the opportunity to have a life, let alone a HAPPY life or even a LOVE life.
This book proves them all wrong. Overweight women are not parriahs. They are people who love and are loved. They are mothers, daughters, friends, lovers. Thank you for finally putting that into print for the whole world to see!
Never judge a book by its cover
If you are looking for a provocative romp where the heroine jumps from bed to bed, try another book. This is a romance, not erotica -- cute at the beginning, sad in the middle and they all live happily ever after. It is a light, quick read, like cotton candy, another tale of a 20-something finding out that life has nothing to do with what we see in TV sitcoms or glamour magazines. It's a 21st century Harlequin romance -- and we all need a little Harlequin every now and then.
Funny and pleasantly unexpected ending
The book started out really funny. The thoughts that run through a single, over weight woman's mind is right on. Funny and sad, but very real.
The narration was nicely done, very believable.
The characters were adequately developed giving just enough description to understand the characters relationship to the main character.
The story flowed nicely and I never got bored. I listened to the entire book in one afternoon.
Starts great... Ends up OK
I had high hopes for this audiobook. I had just finished "The Guy Not Taken" (Also by Jennifer Weiner - which I loved). "Good in Bed" started out great. The narrator was excellent. Her voice was perfect for the main character, and she brought the words to life. The story was also very interesting... and also very funny. But about 2/3 of the way through, I found myself wanting to fast forward. It seemed a bit repetitive. I also was very disappointed because there were too many of the same plot lines and even the same dialog lines as "The Guy Not Taken". In both books, main characters were big swimmers, had fathers that had just vanished, had relatives that didn't like to be touched. I could name more. That was disappointing, it's not like these books are a series.
