As she breaks 200 pounds, and not in a good way, 29-year-old Rita finds herself married to a self-focused widower with two difficult kids and a mother who almost makes Rita's own mother look like a role model-which is really saying something. Graham's first wife, being dead, just keeps getting better and better in everyone's memories while Rita just gets fatter and more aggravated. She's tried every diet in the book, but it's not until a family crisis forces her out the door that she discovers that the easiest way to lose weight is to get rid of the baggage on the inside. Funny and insightful, RITA JUST WANTS TO BE THIN is sure to make readers of all shapes and sizes feel better about themselves-and ultimately maybe even about Rita.

It isn't.
Rita is trapped in a horrible marriage with a man who pretty much married her to get free housekeeping and childcare for his utterly horrible children. And then he starts to "work" at home, and rather than him chipping in and dealing with HIS kids, he abdicates...and abdicates even more when his mother moves in with him and contributes nothing except added stress for Rita. Plus, he wants her to have a baby!
Eventually Rita does develop a spine, but during most of the book she is downtrodden. And even after the spine-growing- she's still stuck with the obnoxious stepkids, her selfish and oblivious husband who is not even supporting the family, etc.
This was well-written, but very NOT light, and very sad.
I gave it 3 stars because it IS well-written, but also is far more depressing than the cover suggests. ( )
