Big Girl - Danielle Steele

Victoria, daughter of Jim and christine undergoes a lot of emotional abuse by her own parents since she had no resemblence to them, was obese and a little smart and less beautiful according to her parents. Victoria loves her younger sister Grace who receives unconditional love from her parents based on her beauty and she being their replica. Victoria's accomplishments never get acknowledged by her verbally abusive dad. She accepts a job in NY and moves away from her family to overcome the feeling of worthlessness and realises her value.

This is one of the latest books of DS. I was a little disappointed with the plot, obese daughter treated very badly, and parents never realised their mistake. And to my surprise a blonde with big blue eyes is made to feel inferior in respect to beauty!!! Gal who never had a date all through her college is considered a loser by her parents :) Very light read.
