Mitzi and her friends Jody and Paula own a bridal shop for plus sized women like themselves. Too bad none of them have found their own happy ever after. Then Mitzi reconnects with Graham her high school crush and through him meets his delightful daughters Dixie and Tabby. But his first wife was tiny so what could he see in her? Paula and Jody have issues to deal with as well. Come along as we learn all about the bridal business as well as contemporary emotional issues. I thought this was a great read.
The pace is engrossing and the tone is hopeful with a character centered storyline that has no real steam. The characters are vibrant and endearing. You will cheer them all on, and Mitzi's gramma Fanny is a hoot! She really added depth to the story. To the people who complained about there being too much talk about food, get over it. We all have to eat, and doughnuts are a treat! If you don't like that, then don't reread this, but I can tell you that I will be rereading this. Mitzi, Paula and Jody as well as Mitzi's dad and gramma are people I would love to meet! Enjoy!
