The Next Big Thing!!

Once I started reading this book it took me about 2 days to finish it. I just could not put it down. Johanna Edwards is an amazing writer and she really throws you into the story (head first I might add)!! One sign of a good book for me is when I laugh out loud while reading....I did that quite a few times during this book!

Reality TV Meets Weight Loss Woes

What do you do when your online British boyfriend sends you a size 4 Gucci dress and you tell him it fits perfectly, even though you're a size 18? Such is the dilemma of the main heroine of this tale of reality TV meets weight loss woes.

Author Johanna Edwards places her main character, Kat, in the reality TV milieu (in a show named "From Fat to Fabulous") and lets the fun begin. There are all the problems facing an overweight woman combined with questions of loyalty and love all in the glare of the camera. In an age of reality TV shows like "Fat March" and "Biggest Loser," indeed the plot seems more than plausible.

This book is not great literature, but for those chick lit readers with a few pounds to lose, this story is sure to keep you entertained, while addressing the glare of societal disapproval on the less-than-perfect sized woman. The ending reminds us, too, that even being the perfect size does not come complete with a perfect life. Those who've read and enjoyed books by Jennifer Weiner ("In Her Shoes," "Good in Bed") will no doubt find much to like in Edwards's novel.

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.
