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.
Booklist

October 29, 2009: For the most part, I found the book funny and entertaining. I am glad that someone finally work about large women. We are more the norm than the skinny models and the fashion world should pay attention to us. She brought those issues to light and dealt with them adequately. I would recommend this book. It's not my favorite but I enjoyed the ending.

April 16, 2009: I was very excited to read this book so when it arrived in the mail I immediately started reading it. I finished it later that day and felt completely void. It was a fast, easy read and I just couldn't put the book down, but it was predictable and rather silly. If you're in the mood for something like that then I would recommend The Next Big Thing.
