If you like Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot, and Liza Palmer, you'll love Ellyn Oaksmith!

But Molly feels like an imposter, Will some advice from a very strange place help her figure out how to navigate her new, fullfigured world
Molly realizes her revamped shape might change her life.
She just doesn't anticipate quite how much, . . I bought knockers some time ago and tried to read it, I failed. Then one day when I was book poor, I browsed through those books way back in my kindle to find something I had quit reading, to give it another chance.
Knockers by Ellyn Oaksmith was the winner, I didnt remember much so I started from the beginning, I was delightfully surprised by how interested I was, I wasnt like falling over myself to read it, but I quit last time I tried and that usually means it was bad, This however, kept my attention and I did finish it,
It was cute, a little whimsical feeling, Though I could venture to guess the ending I didnt mind reading the story that took me there, It was good read if you want something to fill in the time waiting in doctors offices, or a day at the beach, I recommend it, but only for that easy read that has a happy ending,
Semi Spoiler Area ahead
The idea is that the protagonist accidentally is confused with a different patient, and is given breast implants instead of her scar removal surgery.
These implants soon begin speaking to her, Each has its own personality and I enjoyed them,
Like many other books our female protagonist is suggested to be about a size, She supposedly had an A cup breast size before, This is extremely unfortunate given that she is curvier, Then she is a D size after the surgery, I happen to be a D, and my hips are her size or smaller, and I dont think anyone is ever shocked by my boob size, It was hard for me to imagine such ample boobs given that it probably just looked normal,
There were a few times I got frustrated with the protagonist for not having a backbone, or using her words to get out of sticky situations etc.
If you have read some of my other reviews, you would know this is normal for me,
It was difficult for me to imagine the protagonist being crippled by her issues to the point where she cant drive, or see ANY of her own issues, but also see her having this thriving career.
The two didnt mesh. Perhaps, if she were a scientist that discovered something and didnt want credit that would make sense, Imagining the insecure, homebody going in to restaurants alone, chatting with employees to get “juicy” info didnt reconcile with the character at the beginning of the book,
I know it sounds like I may not have liked it, but I did really, Knockers was fun, and if you can pick it up for cheap, give it a read,
Copied from my site sitelink wordpress. com/ Identity confusion leads to Molly awakening from scar removal surgery with a brand new set of breasts, Not only is she not pleased but she discovers that they have personalities all their own, Talking implants Too ridiculous to put down!
I purchased this book from Amazon for Kindle for,.
Speech/Lending enabled. What is the difference between this edition, by Harper Collins and my self published edition It's
like seeing a sweater that I knit and carefully labored over, It was a fine sweater that many admired, But it had a handknit quality and not in the good handcrafted sense in the loose thread, slightly shaggy sense, Then a designer came along and took my exact sweater and with her keener, more experienced eye, took that sweater to a whole new level,
Okay, sick of the sweater analogy, My point is that Adventures With Max and Louise is the same fun, poignant story about taking care of oneself that I set out to write, Thanks to Harper Collins it's acquired a sleeker shape and a more finely tuned and crafted whole, When I held the paperback in my hand well, as my friends on Facebook will attest, it was a great, great moment,
I hope you enjoy the book, It's been a lot of fun for me, The Adventures with Max and Louse is actually this books second title, as is posted everywhere, Ill be the first to say I loved the old title and cover, Knockers, as it was called, was almost perfect, Almost. This new title is better, not in that knock you out and get you to click on the Amazon link way, but in the it really encompasses the story better way.
Molly Gallagher walks into a plastic surgeon for scar rescission surgery, and walks out with breast implants a huge pun intended mistake on the part of the surgeon.
For health reasons, Molly cant get the implants removed right away, and has to live at least eight weeks without them, Of course, men being, well, men, she gains immediate interest from a couple, The first is her high school crush,
And who doesnt relish this fantasy, Imagine, that boy you lusted after in high school, but barely noticed you and would report you if you tried to friend him on Facebook suddenly chasing you like youre the best thing thats happened to him since Gwyneth Paltrow.
And even better, what if the rest of your dreams started to come true, This fantasy becomes a reality for Molly, She is a food critic, and budding cookbook writer, Suddenly her expertise is sought by a swanky restaurant, Plus her writing career is about to move to a whole new level,
As with most people, all this popularity and success if fraught with inner turmoil, Most people do a little navel gazing, Molly starts getting advice from her implants, Yes, the idea is a little campy, But the real deal is that shes finally coming to grips with where shes been, who she is, and who she wants to be,
Ellyn Oaksmith writes a fastpaced, fun book about coming into ones own,
What I liked about the book:
I liked that Molly stayed true to herself, She didnt have to lose weight or change to become desirable,
What I didnt like about the book:
The ending, It was the most bizarre frolic and detour for an otherwise tightly written story, And Im not one hundred percent convinced of the HEA,
Would I recommend this book
Id recommend this book to fans of chick lit, and light romance, I got this based on the reviews, I normally would not buy a title with this name or with this cover, However, I'm glad I did get it, I enjoyed it. It is a great mix of humor, romance, and food for thought,
Molly goes into the hospital for plastic surgery to remove scar tissue on her neck and chest from injuries suffered in a car accident, Her friend accompanies her to the day surgery and proceeds to faint, The confusion results in the wrong chart being placed on Molly's bed which results in her waking up in the recovery room to find she has been given breast implants.
. . very large ones. The error cannot be corrected right away, It has to go before a review board which will take aboutweeks, In the meantime, Molly has to live with her new chest and all the perks and problems it brings,
It's not all bad, The new physique brings new opportunities for Molly and several chances for bigger changes in her life,
I really enjoyed this and will look for more work from this author, One thing that can be improved is the errors, Lots and lots of them as the book progresses, Silly errors where there is either an extra word in the sentence or a word missing, There are also a few instances where the times don't really synchronize and distract from the storyline but not enough to ruin the work as a whole, .
