Monet- I have read "She's Come Undone" because my little sister said it was a great book. To be honest, as a Born Again Christian, it was garbage. It has adultery, homosexuality, masturbation etc. A really depressing and horrible book.

Monet: I highly recommend a book called "Passing for Thin" by Frances Kuffel. Although she is not a WLS patient (she lost a great deal of weight by attending Overeaters Anonymous), her story of being heavy and then becoming thin is compelling and I recognized myself on almost every page. It's not really the story of how she lost weight -- it's more of how she dealt with the emotional and psychological changes that she experienced while she did. Hope this helps! Beth only two weeks out, but looking forward to "passing for thin"!

I love the Evanovich books. I have read all the Stephanie Plum series and am awaiting the 11th book. These books have everything, love, sex, humor, mystery, they have it all in one book. In my mind, I have them all pictured. Like Stephanie would be Sandra Bullock, Lula is Queen Latifah. Grandma Mazur is a hoot, I picture her as Estelle ---- from Golden Girls. Karen
