The characters in this book portray their emotions brilliantly, the book is well written, and I enjoyed the read. You can stop there, and take that as my recommendation.

Delving a little deeper, the reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is that the author missed the boat on fat girls. The psychology is off the mark, with the fat girl having enough confidence to proposition the guy, and the thin girl trying to leave that fat girl behind and losing some of her confidence. Once a fat girl loses the weight, her confidence rises exponentially, and the psychology is more along the lines of "see what you missed when all you saw was the fat girl?" There was a movie with Stockard Channing - "The Girl Most Likely To" that shows a woman who used to be bullied because of her looks seeking revenge. That piece is missing in this book. Willow too easily forgives a slight she got in college, too easily dismisses that her SEAL is panting after her now when he pushed her away before. While Ms. St. Claire does explore the reasons behind that decision, I would have liked to see more conflict about "oh, now you want me!" rather than "He's so hot, I still want him!"
