Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Damn! This books is as horrible as I remember. It's a very long pity-party about a plus-size woman who had spent her entire life being picked on by her parents, and being compared to her much more slender and younger sister. The story goes on and on with how Victoria, the main character, feels sad about being fat and how she eats when she gets depress. She constantly complains about how rotten her parents are to her; constantly talks about how much she loves her sister (almsot to the point of sounding like she was in love with her sister); and whining about how she couldn't find a man to love her because she was too big. Victoria's problem is that she doesn't try to be happy, and comes off as envious toward her sister. *Sigh* I listened to this book on Audio CD. I liked the main character however I found the reality of the situations in the book to be very Danielle Steel. The girl is 15 pounds overweight in High School (GASP!) and 25 pounds overweight as an adult (DOUBLE GASP!). Her being "extremely overweight" has caused all sorts of pain in her life. I just found it to be somewhat of a smack in the face to any person that has been overweight that such a small amount of weight would ruin this poor girls life. It was pretty much what I expected from a Danielle Steel novel though. I hadn't read one since middle school and this is why. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Pero el amor que siente la una por la otra siempre ha sido incondicional.
Al nacer, Victoria Dawson era una encantadora niña rubia con ojos azules y un tanto regordeta... Aunque esto no era así a los ojos de sus padres. Siempre se ha sentido poco valorada por ellos y con la sensación de que jamás estaría a la altura de sus expectativas. Con la llegada de su hermana menor, la preciosa y perfecta Gracie, la situación empeoró y tuvo que acostumbrarse a los comentarios cínicos de sus padres y a que la tacharan de ser "la prueba piloto" de la descendencia de los Dawson. Crecer en una ciudad como Los Ángeles, donde la belleza y el físico es casi un culto, tampoco facilitó las cosas. Victoria siempre había soñado con el día en que pondría tierra de por medio, pero ni siquiera trasladándose a Chicago y cumpliendo sus sueños profesionales puede ahuyentar las críticas de su familia. Gracie es la única que jamás la ha juzgado por el físico. Con ella, siempre había compartido un vínculo muy especial que parecía imposible de romper... o eso creía... Las dos hermanas deberán superar una prueba de fuego.
