I agree. It seems to me that if she was intimidated by her weight issues with men she didn’t like she would have been even more so with Noah – whose opinion was so very important to her.
The set up in this book was a bit unbelievable but once I suspended my disbelief (as is often the case!) I went along for the ride without thinking too much about it.

That’s true Kaetrin, it’s not the same as Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon where she described Bride as a size 18. We don’t actually know how big Grace is or if her weight was actually part of why she seemed to be ‘unattractive’. That was really only her impression, but might in fact be that her crush on Noah blinded her to other men, she didn’t dress well for her shape or she gave off signals that she was unavailable through her shyness.

But however she looked, she never let her weight stand in the way of being with Noah. She was modest and self conscious, but never ashamed of letting him see the body she seemed to think had kept her single. That seemed to be a bit of a nagging contradiction that sometimes distracted me, but otherwise I really enjoyed this book.

I remember enjoying this one – it’s on my shelf somewhere.
I don’t remember thinking of Grace as all that overweight though – it could be I’m remembering it wrong, but I usually get the impression with “overweight” heroines that they are just healthy (ie, not a stick figure) and not actually fat. So far as I can tell, most men like some curves on their lady.
