Fat Chance (Red Dress Ink)
reviewed on + 37 more book reviews


A quick, fun chick read. Has some funny moments that made me laugh out loud.

Maggie is a New York journalist who writes a column for overweight people. She thinks dieting is a joke and food is for eating. She practices what she preaches, too. Until she's asked to go to LA and consult with a major hottie movie star, Mike Taylor, for his upcoming movie dealing with obesity and eating disorders. So she begins a secret plan to lose weight, with the help of her assistant.

Don't expect this to be the average person's weight loss dilemma. The pounds come off a little too easy to be believable, but it's still a fun story. Maggie is a mess, but aren't we all!
