The Way It Is - Softcover

A delicious, delirious celebration of women whose hearts are as big as their hips. Three 30-something roommates with insatiable appetites for life, love and anything deep-fried take on City life in the latest novel from the bestselling author of "Girlfriends". Living large hasn't gotten Ruby Waters where she wants to be. She's sure that the only thing standing between her and the good life is that extra weight she can't seem to shed. And soon, Ruby might just have the courage to go for it - "it" being her hunky coworker with a body of steel. Plus-size model Wanda Johnson has a different take on things. Fat is where it's at and that's the way it's going to stay. This larger-than-life African-American goddess may top the scales but there are plenty of men begging for her phone number. Simone Reyes always goes after what she wants - and it's usually ripped with muscles and under 30. As the city's sexiest anchorwoman, glamorous, svelte Simone doesn't have time for commitment. She's too busy protecting a secret that could blow the lid off her whole life.
