"Not that I'm looking for anyone, I mean, it's me, for God's sake, the woman who never has any boyfriends, and, although I know what a nice person I am, I'm not the most sociable of creatures. I wish I were, I wish I could be more like my roommates at times, but unfortunately my size dictates my social life, and my size is the one thing I can't control. I know what you're thinking, go on a diet, but it's not as easy as that, I just can't stop the cravings when they come, and somehow living on the Internet seems a far easier option than giving up chocolate."

Keeping Faith
No quote. Nothing stands out. I wouldn't say the book was a "page turner" but it was very close. It flowed, had good dialogue, interesting characters, interesting storyline, and then BOOM, over. I really felt cheated. It wasn't that it had a bad ending, it just ended. I really felt that storylines were just left. The custody hearing ended and then so did the book. I wouldn't recommend this book, which I rarely say because I think almost all books have redeemable qualities, and this one has some as mentioned above, but overall, I think you'll feel as if your time was wasted. (2.0/5.0)
