具体描述
In this heartfelt and incisive new novel, Danielle Steel celebrates the virtues of unconventional beauty while exploring deeply resonant issues of weight, self-image, sisterhood, and family.
A chubby little girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and ordinary looks, Victoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. Her father, Jim, is tall and slender, and her mother, Christina, is a fine-boned, dark-haired beauty. Both are self-centered, outspoken, and disappointed by their daughter’s looks. When Victoria is six, she sees a photograph of Queen Victoria, and her father has always said she looks just like her. After the birth of Victoria’s perfect younger sister, Gracie, her father liked to refer to his firstborn as “our tester cake.” With Gracie, everyone agreed that Jim and Christina got it right.
While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father’s belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Ice cream and oversized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City.
Landing her dream job as a high school teacher, Victoria loves working with her students and wages war on her weight at the gym. Despite tension with her parents, Victoria remains close to her sister. And though they couldn’t be more different in looks, they love each other unconditionally. But regardless of her accomplishments, Victoria’s parents know just what to say to bring her down. She will always be her father’s “big girl,” and her mother’s constant disapproval is equally unkind.
When Grace announces her engagement to a man who is an exact replica of their narcissistic father, Victoria worries about her sister’s future happiness, and with no man of her own, she feels like a failure once again. As the wedding draws near, a chance encounter, an act of stunning betrayal, and a family confrontation lead to a turning point.
Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget, and even ice cream can no longer dull the pain. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself.

用户评价
这本书的叙事方式非常独特，我从未读过类似的。作者似乎并不遵循传统的时间线索，而是将过去、现在和未来交织在一起，形成了一种碎片化却又异常连贯的叙事结构。起初我有些不适应，但随着阅读的深入，我逐渐沉浸在这种跳跃的节奏中，反而从中体会到一种别样的韵味。这种叙事方式，就像是主角内心世界的真实写照，充满了回忆的闪回、当下的思考，以及对未来的憧憬与担忧。每一个片段都像是拼图的一角，需要读者自己去细细揣摩，去连接，去构建。这是一种非常主动的阅读体验，也因此，这本书带给我的思考远比那些顺叙的故事要来得更加深远。我喜欢作者这种大胆的尝试，它打破了阅读的惯性，挑战了读者的思维，但也正是因为这种挑战，才让这本书充满了生命力和艺术感。每一次读到新的段落，都像是在解开一个新的谜题，充满了惊喜和发现。
评分我必须说，这本书的情节设计是极其出人意料的。我原本以为自己已经猜到了故事的走向，却没想到作者总能在关键时刻抛出重磅炸弹，将我带入新的境地。那些精巧的伏笔，那些看似不经意的细节，最终都串联成一条条巧妙的线索，最终指向一个令人震撼的结局。我喜欢这种“猜不到”的感觉，它让阅读过程充满了悬念和刺激，让我恨不得一口气读完，却又忍不住放慢脚步，细细品味每一个字句。书中对人物命运的安排，既有令人心痛的巧合，也有令人惊喜的反转，每一个转折都恰到好处，既不会显得突兀，又能将读者牢牢抓住。我尤其欣赏作者在处理矛盾冲突时的手法，它不是简单的正邪对立，而是充满了人性的复杂和灰度，让人在读的过程中，不断地去思考，去权衡。这本书的结局，更是让我久久不能平静，它不仅仅是一个故事的结束，更像是一个全新的开始，留给了读者无限的想象空间。
评分这本书给我带来的，是一种久违的温暖和力量。在阅读的过程中，我仿佛找到了一个可以依靠的港湾，一个可以倾诉心声的朋友。主角的坚韧、她的乐观、她的每一次跌倒又爬起来的勇气，都深深地感染了我。她身上有一种不屈的精神，即使面对生活的重压，即使遭受过伤害，也从未放弃过对美好的追求。这种力量，并非来自于天生的天赋，而是来自于内心的坚持和对生命的尊重。我喜欢书中那些朴实无华的道理，那些看似简单的生活哲理，却蕴含着深刻的人生智慧。它提醒着我们，即使在最黑暗的时刻，也要相信光明，相信希望。这本书没有华丽的辞藻，没有矫揉造作的情感，它只是用最真挚的笔触，描绘了一个鲜活的生命，一个值得我们去学习、去敬佩的灵魂。读完它，我感觉自己仿佛充满了电，准备好去迎接生活中的一切挑战，去创造属于自己的美好。
评分读完之后，脑海里久久不能平静。我感觉自己被卷入了一场情感的洪流，时而汹涌澎湃，时而又细腻温柔。书中对人物内心的刻画简直是入木三分，我能感受到主角在每一个关键时刻的挣扎、迷茫，以及最终的坚定。那些细腻的情感描绘，让我仿佛亲身经历了一样，时而为她捏一把汗，时而又为她由衷地感到骄傲。作者似乎有一种魔力，能够将最隐晦的情绪，最难以言说的感受，用最直白的语言剖析出来，又或者用最诗意的比喻，将其升华。我尤其喜欢书中关于“接纳”的探讨，它不是一种被动的妥协，而是一种主动的、充满力量的拥抱。这个过程充满了痛苦和挑战，但也正是这份痛苦，让最终的接纳显得格外珍贵和动人。这本书不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一面镜子，照出了我们每个人内心深处的影子，也给予了我们面对自己、接纳自己的勇气。读完它，我感觉自己仿佛也经历了一次洗礼，对生活、对自我有了更深刻的理解和感悟。
评分这本书的封面设计就深深吸引了我。那是一种大胆而又略带一丝脆弱的美感，色彩的碰撞和构图的张力，仿佛在诉说着一个故事，一个关于成长、关于自我认知，又或许是关于挑战世俗眼光的旅程。翻开扉页，纸张的触感温润而厚实，散发着淡淡的书香，瞬间就将我带入了一个可以沉浸其中的世界。我期待着作者会如何用文字描绘出“Big Girl”这个概念，它可能不仅仅是体型上的庞大，更可能是一种内心的力量，一种不被定义、不被束缚的自由灵魂。我很好奇，作者会在故事中融入哪些元素？是关于家庭的羁绊，还是关于友谊的考验？是关于爱情的萌芽，还是关于寻找自我的勇气？也许，这是一个关于打破常规，关于拥抱不完美的女性成长史诗。我迫不及待地想知道，主角会经历怎样的起伏，又会如何在这个看似渺小的世界里，找到属于自己的那片广阔天地。每一次翻阅，都仿佛是一次新的探索，一次与书中人物的灵魂对话，我期待着书中那些意想不到的情节，那些触动人心的瞬间，以及最终，那种豁然开朗的顿悟。
评分I have no idea if she always writes like this, but this reads as I would imagine an "Idiot's Guide" does. There is no such thing as nuance, and if you didn't get it the first 10x she told you, don't worry; she'll tell you 10 more times...and that's just on the next page.
