I can’t believe Jennifer Weiner’s In Her Shoes was actually made into a movie – actually I can. It’s for people who like to laugh at (not with) other people. One of the main characters, Maggie, is mean, spiteful, selfish, greedy, and a bitch (not to put too fine a point on it). Oh, and she’s thin and lovely. Her sister, Rose, is kind, generous, forgiving, yada, yada, plain, and fat. Maybe it’s because I only have brothers, but I just can’t buy into a story where one sister could be so horrible (steal repeatedly from your sister and sleep with her boyfriend, anyone?) and the other would forgive her so easily. The mean-but-pretty and kind-but-fat stereotype is just lame, unbelievable characters abound, and I couldn’t find any redeeming qualities anywhere in the book.
