I mean that in the nicest way possible, but every member of the Waterfall family are hiding a secret and most are super obvious to any usual Chick Lit reader, the only reason the author was possibly able to get away with it is the simple fact of Clara being housebound, otherwise you would just suspect she's the most obtuse mother ever. Secret after secret tumbled out, and most were fairly obvious, but it was still a joy to read.
I very much enjoyed the book. It didn't blow me away (nothing is these days, so there's not a lot new there) but it was enjoyable and it was nice to see the world through Clara's eyes. We judge fat people very harshly, maybe that's correct; maybe not, but seeing Clara's perspective gave me a new perspective. Once you get on that slippery slope it's hard to recover. It was so nice to meet the Waterfall family, they were such an interesting bunch but they definitely loved each other deep down and I love meeting families like theirs.
