A novel about cynicism, celibacy and stretch marks . . .
Everyone thinks Diana Christopher is losing it. Considering she's just driven her car into the front window of Davey's Café, they might be on to something.
All Diana wants is to be normal - but life for this thirty-two-year-old waitress is anything but. Since the death of her father two decades before, Diana has looked for consolation in doughnuts, ice-cream sundaes and cheese curls - anything to avoid looking at herself, and her past. Weighing in at 178 pounds, she knows she's become a huge disappointment to her mother, and herself.
An unlikely friendship with her ninety-three-year-old neighbour gives Diana the courage to shed the bulky barrier she has put between herself and the world, and soon, she's getting attention from a certain pool-playing god at a local singles bar.
But after the unspeakable happens, Diana begins to examine her past and finds that losing it is the only way she can truly free herself.
