Simon & Schuster are putting a lot behind this first novel, which features a strong central character whose life is turned upside-down when her ex starts writing about their relationship in a women's magazine. "Wildly funny and surprisingly tender, "Good In Bed" is not another Bridget Jones knock- off. This is a truly original story overflowing with colourful characters" "Cosmopolitan".

"Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world", Bruce has written in a national women's magazine. And Cannie Shapiro - the smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter - who never thought that loving her was an act of courage, is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life.
