    Jusqu'à présent, tout allait bien pour Candace Shapiro. Vingt-huit ans, trop de rondeurs mais beaucoup de charme et suffisamment d'esprit pour s'être imposée comme journaliste. Elle avait même fini par accepter que papa ne revienne jamais, que maman soit amoureuse d'une femme et que Lucy, sa petite sœur, danse les seins nus pour arrondir ses fins de mois. Mais le jour où elle découvre sa vie sexuelle relatée par le menu dans un grand mensuel féminin, ce jour-là... tout déraille. Le responsable de cette délicate attention ? Bruce, son ex, qui, à l'évidence, vit lui aussi de sa plume en confiant à l'Amérique tout entière le détail de ses amours avec une femme " différente " ! D'abord furieuse, Candace a le choix : sombrer dans la dépression... ou rebondir et donner raison à celles qui pensent que, oui, on peut être heureuse sans avoir à mincir !

  2. Weiner's witty, original, fast-moving debut features a lovable heroine, a solid cast, snappy dialogue and a poignant take on life's priorities. For twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her world. But she loves her friends, her rat terrier, Nifkin, and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. She's even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body. But the day she opens up a national women's magazine and sees the words "Loving a Larger Woman" above her ex-boyfriend's byline, Cannie is plunged into misery...and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and who she can become.

    Readers fell in love with Cannie Shapiro, the smart, sharp-tongued, bighearted heroine of Good in Bed, who found her happy ending amid family upheavals and public scrutiny. Now, Cannie returns after her debut novel—a fictionalized and highly sexualized version of her life—became an overnight bestseller. She has stepped back from the limelight to write science fiction under a pseudonym and is happily married to the charming diet doctor Peter Krushelevansky. Cannie's life is predictably joyful, filled with knitting at her daughter Joy's drama rehearsals, volunteering at the library, and taking yoga classes with her best friend Samantha. As Joy's bat mitzvah approaches, Cannie's world seems perfect. However, when Joy discovers Cannie's earlier novel, she confronts the hidden truths about her conception that her mother has kept from her. Meanwhile, Peter surprises Cannie with a desire to have another baby, prompting the family to reevaluate their past, future, and the essence of true happiness. Radiantly funny and tender, this story captures love, loss, and the enduring bonds of family, enriched by Weiner's sharp observations and witty dialogue.
