Needless to say, there were many things I loved about this book.
• Winnie was not perfect, but she was still fabulous. She was a hard worker, a loving sister, a good friend, and a caring cousin. She was often concerned with making sure those she loved were happy, but she also knew when to finally draw the line and not sacrifice her own happiness for someone else.
• I appreciated all the discussion that revolved around Winnie's weight. If you have ever been or are overweight, you would have encountered many of the "helpful" people Winnie dealt with in this story. I allowed for that angst, because I am sure it took Winnie many years to be able to accept and love herself with all that noise in her ears. She challenged the idea that she couldn't like herself because she was fat or that no one else could care about her because of her weight. I really liked the way this issue was explored in the book.
• Winnie and her brother were a great team. I loved Win-Win and thought it was beautiful the way they were there for each other.
• I liked Dallas a lot. He kind of wore his heart on his sleeve and was very open with Winnie. They had a sweet little summer thing going there and also a genuine friendship.
Overall, not the rom-com I was anticipating, but I thought the story was filled with wonderful characters, lovely friendships, and some realistic family drama.
