Relation Supposing Books Jemima J
Jemima Jones is overweight. About one hundred pounds overweight. Treated like a maid by her thin and social-climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented but better paid) at the Kilburn Herald, Jemima finds that her only consolation is food. Add to this her passion for her charming, sexy, and unobtainable colleague Ben, and Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. When she meets Brad, an eligible California hunk, over the Internet, she has the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself–as JJ, the slim, beautiful, gym-obsessed glamour girl. But when her long-distance Romeo demands that they meet, she must conquer her food addiction to become the bone-thin model of her e-mails–no small feat.With a fast-paced plot that never quits and a surprise ending no reader will see coming, Jemima J is the chronicle of one woman's quest to become the woman she's always wanted to be, learning along the way a host of lessons about attraction, addiction, the meaning of true love, and, ultimately, who she really is.

Okay, here's the thing: there is really no way I can write why this book is so awful without sounding bitter. You know how everyone says how only ugly girls hate beauty pageants? Well, I've heard it said also that only fat girls hate this book. And I am fat. So there's that out of the way right out of the gate.Oh! But not as fat as the main character of this novel. At least, not according to Jane Green, the lady who wrote this book. I couldn't possible be, given the descriptions given of theAmazing how spending some money, especially when you havent got it, can perk you up. Jane Green, Jemima JSo. This book.First off..this review maybe kind of long.I have read some of the other reviews. I do not usually read as many reviews as I did for this book But I wanted to know what others thought.I do agree this book maybe terribly dangerous to the wrong reader. If I had a daughter I would not want her to read this.First the good. I liked Jemima. She was a well written character and I felt
So here's the thing. Before I purged all of my Amazon reviews I think most people would have realized that I used to be a huge fan of Jane Green. I loved Jemima J, Mr. Maybe, and even loved Bookends. Then I started to really not get many of Jane Green's later books and after a while just stopped making them my always have to buy books. However, I still re-read Jemima J, Mr. Maybe, and Bookends once every year or so. Jemima J holds a special place in my heart just because it was my first Jane
After reading this book I came up with a pretty mathematical formula.Chick lit = crapI employ this equation whenever I'm browsing for books and it saves me time and money.
This is one of the worst books I've ever read, if not the worst book I've ever read. As someone who has read over 600 books, this is not something I say lightly.I was at the beach with no book for the weekend and my sister had this, there's no way I would have finished it otherwise.
The first 50 or so pages were dreadful. I only continued reading because it's not easy to find English language books in Japan. I guess what I hated is how the author keeps switching back and forth between first and third person. Maybe if I hadn't majored in English in college I wouldn't have been driven nuts by this, but it really got on my nerves. And I hated some of the theatrical comments. Some of the things she wrote would have fit well for a TV show narrated by a third party, but to write
It's been a long time since I've read this book. But I remember the pertinent details. Jemima, an "ugly duckling" (basically a woman who is plus-size, doesn't have highlights, and dresses comfortably instead of fashionably), is in love with her co-worker. Because she's an ugly duckling, of course, he doesn't notice her. So Jemima starts online chatting with a hot guy from California who, for the obvious ironic twist, owns a gym and is hyper into fitness. After chatting for awhile, he wants a
