ARC REVIEW Skinny Pants by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff




SHE ACCIDENTALLY CATFISHED THE PERFECT GUY.

BUT WILL HE EVER LOVE THE REAL HER?

DR. JACK REED has been through hell. His wife cheated on him, broke his heart, and lied for years. But moving on isn’t easy, and it’s impossible to trust women again. Until he meets Macie, a nurse at his new hospital. There’s something about her honest heart that makes him want to fight to get his life back.

NURSE MACIE FRANKLIN was always known as “the fat girl.” After decades of failed diets, she doesn’t dream of ever being anything but invisible to the opposite sex. One moment of weakness and two glasses of bubbly later, she’s in a steamy online chat with “Dr. J-Love” as the fake, size 8, bubbly Catrina.

Their passionate conversation convinces her it’s time to make big life changes. But when she goes to see Dr. Reed, the new amazing surgeon everyone’s talking about, it’s Dr. J-Love! And he’s way hotter in person.

They hit it off a second time as friends, but now Macie’s heart is at risk of falling hopelessly in love. Will he ever love the real her back?

Last book of the Happy Pants series. MJP stated previously and in the author's notes at the end that she has more new series in line... but I can wait years for one more book if I have too. Lucia's matchmaking hyjinks are legendary and now with Taylor slowly taking over for Lucia she has said Jack Reed will be her last match. But has Lucia taken off more than she can chew with this stubborn but sexy plastic surgeon?
Macie was fine with her life until everything in her life started to point out and make a big deal about her weight. After a wine induced night of stupid mistakes including creating a fake dating profile and meeting Dr. J-Love, a decision she regrets immediately and deletes her profile. Macie is discouraged the fact that her fake profile got so much attention because the skinny model she picked to represent Catrina. Top it all off with the argument she got in with her best friends has Macie reevaluating her life. As a nurse she knows all the problems she can face in her future especially now that she's over 30 and her metabolism is slowing down and it's not like she isn't healthy she eats right and walks every weekend; overall, Macie decides for health reasons she doesn't want to be fat the rest of her life and starts to look into gastric bypass. One of the two surgeons who has to sign off on her surgery is new and apparently very sexy, very professional, and he's also Dr. J-Love. 
After learning of his wife's lies and ultimate betrayal Jack wasn't sure he was ready to trust his love with someone else but meeting Macie made him want to try and it's something he wants to do on his own without the help of a magic cookie. Macie automatically assumed Jack friend-zoned her, because why would a guy like Jack want a girl like her. By the time Macie realizes the truth she feels even worse about the whole Catrina thing. As perfect as they seem for each other circumstances just keep getting in the way, maybe they aren't meant for each other after all.
Overall, it's another emotional rollercoaster ride full of humorous situations and fantastic relatable characters. I love when MJP slips in her own books so nonchalantly into other books. She also hits the nail on the head with Macie's emotional battle with her weight and once again we see a love story that focuses on learning to love yourself before you can fully love someone else. I'd put this one in the same category with her other book Fugly, potential ugly cry but such a good book and a happy ending.
