Delilah White, a perfect size 12, has no problems with the way she is.  A semi famous television domestic diva, her boss one day announces her retirement and Delilah feels it’s now her time to climb the professional ladder.  She’s soon pitted against her rival, Margo Hart, for this coveted promotion and office politics become heated.  Delilah escapes for a weekend at her friend’s estate in the Catskills.  Two surprise houseguests threaten to turn her whole world upside down.  With all her charm and ingenuity, she struggles to negotiate a budding romance with a man who just may not be available and counter a disaster at the office.  Delilah goes from one blunder to another and it will take a bit more than charm and ingenuity to come out on top. 

This reviewer really enjoyed this story.  It’s entertaining, witty and fun.  The heroine is likeable and the reader can relate to her.  This is a woman who is comfortable in her skin, even if she is a bit larger in size than the usual romance novel heroines.  This reviewer especially liked the banter between the characters.  Snappy and full of humor, this reviewer often smiled while reading.  The plot moves nicely along and is captivating.  There are two reasons this reviewer did not give this book a higher rating.  One, most of the story is written in the simple present which threw this reviewer off.  Second, there were some scene changes that this reviewer found a tad confusing.  Apart from this, the story was well worth the read and this reviewer would recommend it.
