Me too! Absolutely LOVE Jemima J!!

Oh I LOVE Good in Bed! Have you read the sequel, Certain Girls? It's good too... not as much about the weight battle but if you love the character it is a great read as well! I wish Jennifer Weiner would make it an actual series.

Jemma J was such a great read. I may have to pick up Certain Girls now.

"You don't have to say you love me" by Sarra Manning is a good one. I picked it up after reading an article about the authors own weight loss and how it affected her.

I tried iTunes also and it isn't available. :-(. I'm going to try to find a hard copy.

TryAmazon UK. You have to create a separate account and the shipping fees are higher coming from across the pond. But I have gotten UK only releases from there before.
