review 1: B is for Beauty is a story about a young woman named Bella. She is overweight, works in an office where she is under-appreciated, and has no future prospects of love or advancing at work. One day while filing for her taxes, Bella meets a Madame and from there the adventure begins. Bella becomes a "comfort professional", but for the clients of the most oddest of sorts. Nothing sexual happens, but its very fun in the things that do occur to her. Ultimately, the story is about how in every situation Bella learns something new about herself. I enjoyed reading this book, and Alberto Ferraras has a great written voice.B de Bella se toca de una señora joven llamada Bella. Es gorda, trabaja en una oficina donde la menopresian, y no tiene prospectos de amor ni de avansar en... more el trabajo. Un dia, haciendo sus taxes, se encuentra con una madame y desde ahi comiensa la aventura. Bella se convierte en una "reconfortadora profesional", pero los clientes son de los mas raros. Nada sexual pasa, pero es muy divertido en lo que le pasa. Al fin de acabo, el cuento es mas de que como en cada situacion Bella aprende algo nuevo de ella. Me encanto leer este libro, y la voz escritoral de Alberto Ferreras es muy bueno.
review 2: I loved this book from the very start. I was amazing that a male author could capture the inner most thoughts of a body conscious woman but he not only managed but succeeded beautifully. This story of self-loathing that turns into not just appreciation but love is a journey that most larger woman can relate to. While the journey is unique the struggles are universal and the book spoke to me and made the mirror a little more friendly at the end. less
