About this listen

Fat and friendless, carer to her mother by day and a secret binge eater by night, 28-year-old Alison hates her life. She feels powerless to help herself until one day she encounters the person she would like to be and determines to transform herself. Admiration soon turns to obsession, and as Alison loses weight she discovers she’s capable of things she never imagined. Will she get the life she desires or the life she deserves?

Not what I was expecting

I was looking forward to listening to this as I have been on the journey of fat girl slim but I got a bit of a suprise it's not really about that at all. The character isn't likable in my opinion a bit of a nutter, but the worst but if the book was the mistakes for example calling Justin Jason which made my replay that part a few times to make sure and saying she had taken her foot coverings off then in the next sentence stating she hadn't those are just two but I won't go on. I see there are several other books in the series but I won't be listening to them. not my kind of thing.

A funny and enjoyable book

An engaging and original story, I couldn't guess where it was going. The narrator was brilliant, she got the characters perfectly.

Immediately drawn to characters

Loved it. Not as funny as thought would be, but I was drawn to main character and her motivation. Though many times through story I did cringe at some of the things she did, impulsively listened to hear what would happen next. Not disappointed…. Eager to hear what happens next in her life

main character is horrid

whilst I couldnt decide if I enjoyed this book or not, I loathed the main character. she certainly has a couple of screws loose.

Absolutely not what I expected but I loved it!!!

I thought it would be about a weight loss rollercoaster. It was I guess but also so much more!!

enjoyed this but needed some research into sizes

I enjoyed the story but was frustrated by the bad fat girl rhetoric prevalent in this book. Size 22 isn't mammoth sized

Loved it!

Great read. Twisty tipsy turvy character who you feel sympathy for, like and dislike all at once! Elements of us all in her I think! As for her mother.....
Narrated well too xxx
