❝Gradually, I heard a symphony of sounds rise around us. I highlighted the entire last half of this chapter… At 43% Sienna and Jethro are walking through the prairie and the way Penny shared this scene was breathtaking. One of the most beautiful, touching scenes I can ever recall reading was in this book. She goes from writing humorous moments to poignant ones in a flash. We had no control over what other people decided to think, but we did have control over our own actions, who we wanted to be, and how we lived our life.Īlso, her stories are like poetry. We could either live up or down to people’s expectations, or blow them completely away. She gives you words to think about as you read her stories…

Putting it simply, I love her writing style. But I am finding it difficult to not sound redundant. At first glance, this doesn’t make much sense. With each book that I read by Penny Reid, I find they get more difficult to review. I was provided a review copy this did not influence my opinion of the book.ĭeeply passionate, funny and thought-provoking, Grin and Beard It, made me believe starting over, taking chances and falling in love are worth it. But can she traverse the tenuous trails of Tennessee without losing her head? Or worse, her heart? Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heartthrobs. And habit of looking at her too long and too often. Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it’s not Jethro’s chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. Much to her consternation, Sienna’s most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky Park Ranger by the name of Jethro Winston. Therefore, when Sienna’s latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the backroads of Green Valley, Tennessee.

The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna.īut she has a problem, she can’t read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. The movie studio executives can’t explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood’s most beautiful elite. Sienna Diaz is everyone’s favorite “fat” funny lady.
