Synopsis
In this funny, poignant debut, a plus-size heroine becomes a reality TV show contestant and discovers she's already beautiful enough to be the next big thing.
Kat Larson figured she had nothing to lose by becoming a contestant on the new reality show From Fat to Fabulous-except maybe a few dozen pounds. Then she'd finally be able to arrange a face-to-face meeting with Nick, the British hunk she met online, who still thinks she's a size four. She'd finally be confident and graceful and thin-and there's that big cash prize, too, to pay for all those slinky new clothes she'd need. She'd finally have the perfect life.
Boston Globe
"Engaging, better-than-average chick lit. Edwards is good where it counts."

A good read
A reviewer, 41 year old single female reader, 08/11/2008
I enjoyed this book. It was lighthearted but still drove home an important message of how our society views overweight women.
Loved it!
Jennifer, A reviewer, 07/01/2008
Such a fun summer read! I couldn't put it down!
Also recommended: The Second Assistant and the First Assistant by Clare Naylor were also great!
