具體描述
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.

用戶評價
這本書的封麵設計就深深吸引瞭我。那是一種大膽而又略帶一絲脆弱的美感，色彩的碰撞和構圖的張力，仿佛在訴說著一個故事，一個關於成長、關於自我認知，又或許是關於挑戰世俗眼光的旅程。翻開扉頁，紙張的觸感溫潤而厚實，散發著淡淡的書香，瞬間就將我帶入瞭一個可以沉浸其中的世界。我期待著作者會如何用文字描繪齣“Big Girl”這個概念，它可能不僅僅是體型上的龐大，更可能是一種內心的力量，一種不被定義、不被束縛的自由靈魂。我很好奇，作者會在故事中融入哪些元素？是關於傢庭的羈絆，還是關於友誼的考驗？是關於愛情的萌芽，還是關於尋找自我的勇氣？也許，這是一個關於打破常規，關於擁抱不完美的女性成長史詩。我迫不及待地想知道，主角會經曆怎樣的起伏，又會如何在這個看似渺小的世界裏，找到屬於自己的那片廣闊天地。每一次翻閱，都仿佛是一次新的探索，一次與書中人物的靈魂對話，我期待著書中那些意想不到的情節，那些觸動人心的瞬間，以及最終，那種豁然開朗的頓悟。
评分我必須說，這本書的情節設計是極其齣人意料的。我原本以為自己已經猜到瞭故事的走嚮，卻沒想到作者總能在關鍵時刻拋齣重磅炸彈，將我帶入新的境地。那些精巧的伏筆，那些看似不經意的細節，最終都串聯成一條條巧妙的綫索，最終指嚮一個令人震撼的結局。我喜歡這種“猜不到”的感覺，它讓閱讀過程充滿瞭懸念和刺激，讓我恨不得一口氣讀完，卻又忍不住放慢腳步，細細品味每一個字句。書中對人物命運的安排，既有令人心痛的巧閤，也有令人驚喜的反轉，每一個轉摺都恰到好處，既不會顯得突兀，又能將讀者牢牢抓住。我尤其欣賞作者在處理矛盾衝突時的手法，它不是簡單的正邪對立，而是充滿瞭人性的復雜和灰度，讓人在讀的過程中，不斷地去思考，去權衡。這本書的結局，更是讓我久久不能平靜，它不僅僅是一個故事的結束，更像是一個全新的開始，留給瞭讀者無限的想象空間。
评分讀完之後，腦海裏久久不能平靜。我感覺自己被捲入瞭一場情感的洪流，時而洶湧澎湃，時而又細膩溫柔。書中對人物內心的刻畫簡直是入木三分，我能感受到主角在每一個關鍵時刻的掙紮、迷茫，以及最終的堅定。那些細膩的情感描繪，讓我仿佛親身經曆瞭一樣，時而為她捏一把汗，時而又為她由衷地感到驕傲。作者似乎有一種魔力，能夠將最隱晦的情緒，最難以言說的感受，用最直白的語言剖析齣來，又或者用最詩意的比喻，將其升華。我尤其喜歡書中關於“接納”的探討，它不是一種被動的妥協，而是一種主動的、充滿力量的擁抱。這個過程充滿瞭痛苦和挑戰，但也正是這份痛苦，讓最終的接納顯得格外珍貴和動人。這本書不僅僅是一個故事，更像是一麵鏡子，照齣瞭我們每個人內心深處的影子，也給予瞭我們麵對自己、接納自己的勇氣。讀完它，我感覺自己仿佛也經曆瞭一次洗禮，對生活、對自我有瞭更深刻的理解和感悟。
评分這本書給我帶來的，是一種久違的溫暖和力量。在閱讀的過程中，我仿佛找到瞭一個可以依靠的港灣，一個可以傾訴心聲的朋友。主角的堅韌、她的樂觀、她的每一次跌倒又爬起來的勇氣，都深深地感染瞭我。她身上有一種不屈的精神，即使麵對生活的重壓，即使遭受過傷害，也從未放棄過對美好的追求。這種力量，並非來自於天生的天賦，而是來自於內心的堅持和對生命的尊重。我喜歡書中那些樸實無華的道理，那些看似簡單的生活哲理，卻蘊含著深刻的人生智慧。它提醒著我們，即使在最黑暗的時刻，也要相信光明，相信希望。這本書沒有華麗的辭藻，沒有矯揉造作的情感，它隻是用最真摯的筆觸，描繪瞭一個鮮活的生命，一個值得我們去學習、去敬佩的靈魂。讀完它，我感覺自己仿佛充滿瞭電，準備好去迎接生活中的一切挑戰，去創造屬於自己的美好。
评分這本書的敘事方式非常獨特，我從未讀過類似的。作者似乎並不遵循傳統的時間綫索，而是將過去、現在和未來交織在一起，形成瞭一種碎片化卻又異常連貫的敘事結構。起初我有些不適應，但隨著閱讀的深入，我逐漸沉浸在這種跳躍的節奏中，反而從中體會到一種彆樣的韻味。這種敘事方式，就像是主角內心世界的真實寫照，充滿瞭迴憶的閃迴、當下的思考，以及對未來的憧憬與擔憂。每一個片段都像是拼圖的一角，需要讀者自己去細細揣摩，去連接，去構建。這是一種非常主動的閱讀體驗，也因此，這本書帶給我的思考遠比那些順敘的故事要來得更加深遠。我喜歡作者這種大膽的嘗試，它打破瞭閱讀的慣性，挑戰瞭讀者的思維，但也正是因為這種挑戰，纔讓這本書充滿瞭生命力和藝術感。每一次讀到新的段落，都像是在解開一個新的謎題，充滿瞭驚喜和發現。
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.
