Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich Book Summary

A rollicking and poignant romantic comedy about a young widow who decides to get in shape...and winds up getting her groove back—and a whole lot more!
 
Holly Brennan used food to comfort herself through her husband’s illness and death. Now she’s alone at age thirty-two. And she weighs more than she ever has. When fate throws her in the path of Logan Montgomery, personal trainer to pro athletes, and he offers to train her, Holly concludes it must be a sign. Much as she dreads the thought of working out, Holly knows she needs to put on her big girl panties and see if she can sweat out some of her grief.
 
Soon, the easy intimacy and playful banter of their training sessions lead Logan and Holly to most intense and steamy workouts. But can Holly and Logan go the distance as a couple now that she’s met her goals—and other men are noticing?

Review: Big Girl Panties. Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich is a thought provoking, funny romantic tale of two unlikely people becoming friends and lovers despite themselves. How does one write about a leading lady who is overweight falling for a Super-Hot personal trainer without turning it into a narcisstic pile of crap? I don't know but I think Stephanie Evanovich definitely managed it. Holly is introverted and shy because of a tragedy in her past, not so much because of her weight. Logan is a personal fitness guru to the rich and famous professional sports celebrities, so when he offers his services (at a great discount) to the woman he was stuck next to on a flight back from Canada he surprises himself. Logan is all about the image, the perfect girl on his arm (girl not girlfriend as he won't settle down) so when he starts to enjoy Holly's company, her wit, and her never quit attitude he's not sure what's going on. Holly knows Logan's hot, she's overweight not blind. When she takes him up on his offer of being a personal trainer she adopts a don't quit, don't complain attitude that has the weight sowing off slowly but steadily. She knows she'll probably NEVER be in a single digit clothing size, but she's starting to get curves, and more importantly confidence. Before either one of these characters notice, they are steadfast friends and with the help of some interfering matchmaking from Logan's friends wife, and after a few disasters, we end happily and uplifted. Holy is at peace with herself and loves herself just how she is - healthy and fit. Logan has put aside his single-minded image of perfection because what he used to think was beautiful doesn't compare to Holly - she is his world. AN enjoyable read with realistic people and a romantic journey that will make you laugh out loud AND cry along the way.

Loved it. I have read this book several times. I love the storyline and love the fight in holly. The easy flow of this book and what it makes you feel makes this book hard to put down. Just this last time of me reading it took all of one day! Please keep writing your great at it!

A thank you from a plus size woman. Finally a book I feel like I could be the main character in. Being a plus size, 30 year old woman myself, I connected with some of the same feelings Holly felt about herself. The line about “she may never be a single digit size” made my heart happy. There is so much truth in the fact that some ladies may never be in the single digits. That’s okay! It has taken me forever to realize that even when I put working out as a priority like Holly. Thank you for writing this book!

Big Girl Panties. This is certainly not a literary masterpiece, however, I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable. I was drawn in quickly, and didn't want the story to end. It's a perfect beach read. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining mindless read.

Quick read, just ok. So I was at the airport and needed some light reading for the flight home. Easy storyline, but not a huge amount of character development. I was hoping for something a little meaty and better told.

Romantic & Funny. Excellent read! The main characters draw you in from the 1st chapter. Loved the story line. A story about how opposites attract and how not getting what you want is exactly what you need.

Save your money. Buy a $1.99 romance instead. Really disappointing.

My new favorite book. Such a great read. Found this book in the airport and the title made me want to buy it alone from the chuckle I had. The perfect read for a trip! I laughed, cried, and ultimately fell in love with this book. I've recommended it to many friends who have had the same reactions. Evonovich is an amazingly talented author and knows just how to write a page turner. Loved it. You'll be happy you bought this book. Now I'm off to put my big girl panties on and go workout! :D

Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich. What a fun book! It’s a complete departure from her numbered series. But absolutely delightful.

Easy Read. I am not one for reading books for pleasure. However, I was on a vacation and had seen this book around at the airport, so I bought it and really enjoyed it. It was an easy read. I laughed out loud. I was able to put it down, but at the same time couldn't wait to get back to it. I am on the conservative side and was a little nervous when my mom wanted to read it too, guess she'll see why I just couldn't put it down.

I loved it, definitely a reread!. I don’t normally write reviews, but I genuinely loved this book. Holly was so sweet, I really loved the chemistry she had with Logan! Logan was a “one type of woman” guy in the beginning, he loved blonde models and Holly being a curvy redhead was the total opposite so I knew there was going to be a lot of ‘self/mental tug of war’ in this story. Holly was lonely, very self loathing, and in need of help regarding her health in the beginning and Logan was willing and felt obligated to give it to her. He was an acquired taste at first but also a big softy so give him time, he may seem shallow but he really won me over!

Stilted prose, gratuitous plot. Since when is it OK for a man to decide a woman is "acting childish" so it is ok to "spank" her? Just what we need, a female writer telling women that it is "sexy" to be dominated by a man. Controlling one's partner through force -- physical, emotional, financial-- is NEVER ok. "Spanking" a woman to shut her up is abusive. Period. How about a respectful conversation instead? I guess that would be boring. I want my $$ back.

Big girl panties. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It dealt with lots of issues I had dealt with in life. The humor was special. The book was written in a very descriptive manner that made every page easy to visualize. Thanks for a fun great romantic read. For every girl in big girl panties there is her Prince Charming she just has to be patient and they will cross paths!

Engaging read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book the characters are captivating.

Not my cup of tea.. Waste of money. silly story.

Big Girl Panties. I loved this book.

Skip this book. This was awful. Dumb story, worthless add on characters that brought nothing to the book. I really hate the premise that people aren't worthy of love or a good looking mate if they are over weight. Change the record already. Wish there was a return button.

Can't wait for the next book from her!. Totally enjoyed it. Worth the read :)

A complete ripoff. A $2.99 read for $12.99. Take a pass on this one.

Book was great!. Starts out sort of slow but ends up being a great story with many twists and turns and a surprise ending.

Big hype. Weak book. Thankfully I didn't buy it on iBooks because that would have been a waste. This book is all over the place.. I kept skipping parts that were completely irrelevant to the story line. Don't waste your time.

Good read. Great summer book

Absolutely LOVED it!. I came across this book on a day at the library with my son! I read it all in one day {even stayed up until 4am} I absolutely LOVED this book and just knew I had to have it in my iBooks collection! Will read it again!

Meh. I predicted the outcome of this book chapter 1. It was a decent read on vacation.

Big Girl Panties. This book is fabulous! Full of surprises! Worth every penny! I would recommend it to anyone who loves to read!

Easy read. Very funny and witty, beautifully simple love story. Perfect read for a sunday on the porch

Cute and contemporary plot but flawed. There were several times reading through the graphic sex scenes I was ready to close the book on this story and delete it from my library. It was so much cookie cutter bad boy plain girl boy gets girl in end after she decides he’s not the one. A million trashy romance novels follow the exact same plot. I don’t like reading about sex in detail and there was way too much for my liking. Not quite Shades of Gray (not sick s and m) but still over the top. What was the only redeeming feature is that a shallow self centered jerk can fall for a sweet but plain Jane with 50 extra lbs.

Big Girl Panties.... Thought this book was steamy, dramatic, and lovely at the same time. Good read to get away from your own life drama and into someone else's.

Don't waste your time. Disappointing!

Wow. If I could sum it up in one word "AMAZING". I couldn't put it down, it makes you laugh, cry, wanting the end to be happy! I would love to see a 2nd book with these characters!

Big girl panties. Exceptional couldn't stop reading until I was absolutely finished. A great read and waiting for her next book. Go Jersey. I'm a Jersey girl myself. And can relate to big girl panties. Fantastic. Didn't want it too end. You go girl. Ugly duck or no ugly duck. SwAn ur no swan. You flew like a eagle.

Big GirlPanties. Great book. Shows the true meaning of life and how it should be.

Keeps you wanting to read on!. Such a great book. The story really held my interest and I can't wait to read more books from this author!

Ok idk man. Cute book but just so predictable :(

Wouldn’t recommend amysue89. Definitely not on par with Stephanie Plum or the Diesel books. I’ll stick with those going forward.

Unexpected. I read the synopsis and thought okay this could be like Jemima J by Jane Green but I think I liked this even more? I sometimes got annoyed when they are in Holly’s head only to realize that I too think like that sometimes. Especially about myself. To see her become a better version of herself and to come out on top happy and healthy was worth reading. I like that Logan wasn’t always likable and perfect. It made him more realistic. All in all, a great quick read to escape for a while.

Clever and thought provoking. Big Girl Panties does a great job of combining romance, eating disorders and social acceptance. To some degree, we each have our prejudices. This story delves into the consequences of our actions, regardless of our motivations. Well-written.

Hugely disappointing. I've read everything Evanovich has written and, until now, loved it all. This is a poorly written novel with a predictable plot and despicable, boring characters.

Fabulous story. This was such a great inspirational story. I loved all of the characters and their personalities. I especially loved Holly. Being a woman who has struggled with her own weight and family issues myself, I could totally identify with Holly. I enjoyed seeing the changes that took place inside Logan as his relationship with Holly changed. Unfortunately, people can be very judgmental, especially when it comes to how someone looks. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. I can't say I've never judged someone by their looks before getting to know them. However, I try very hard not think like that. I know I don't liked to be judged like that, so I try to follow the old rule of treating others as I would like to be treated. I think this book makes some very good points about judging a book by its cover. We're all human and are guilty of doing it, but if we all tried a little harder not to do it, the world would be much better.

Loved loved. Omg I absolutely loved this book it was so great and inspiring would recommend to everyone

Fluff. Too predictable.

fun read. a cute love story that keeps you on your toes

Big Girl Panties. Amazing book. My husband was a very lucky man when I was done w/ some of the chapters!

Hit home. The book hit home on so many levels. Reminded me of what I was going through in my own life. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. Good read.

Big Girl Panties. I personally thought this book was a very good read. It was hard to put down in between rolling out on missions and various other task. Every time I left it I was thinking about was going to happen next. It had refreshing change of all the pretty people's happy ending to using a real person. Well done!!!!!

Big girl panties. This book was refreshingly different. It's a nice change that someone writes about normal people's feelings. About weight and not feeling part of the norm thank u. I hope more stories come.

Big Girl Panties. Good read, enjoyable main characters. Liked how the story unfolded. Holly and Logan's story was great. Not sure about the spanking parts, not really needed in the story.

Not worth the $12.99. This book was nothing spectacular. The character weren't very entertaining and the story was overall lacking; lacking luster, romance, interesting characters and plot. Just LACKING. Don't waste your money folks.

Great romance!. This was a great story about overcoming your fears and your past and finding love! Wonderful, inspiring story! Also, bad reviewers, notice her name is Stephanie Evanovich (not Janet!) completely different author, with her own style! Loved it!
