Summary
Every body can be a dancer's body!
All her life, Fiona has dreamed of becoming a dancer, but she was always told dancing was not for “fat girls” like her. Now, at age 35, Fiona is again confronted with her weight issues when the HR department kindly encourages her and a coworker, Stu, to attend a support group for people with “health” issues.
When quilting is suggested as a hobby to help with their totally opposite eating disorders (Fiona loves everything related to calories, Stu tries to avoid any), Stu insanely suggests they enter a local version of Dancing with the Stars instead....
What follows is a fantastic journey with a lot of ups and downs, sore feet, self-doubt, sweat, and tears mixed in with ghosts from the past.
Dancing Queen is a warmhearted and humorous story about self-doubt, dancing, friendship, and the courage to follow your dreams no matter what size you are.
If you love fast-paced, feel-good stories with snappy dialogue, lots of humor, and heart, this is the audiobook for you.

awesome storyline!
I absolutely loved this book!! It brought back memories for me of always being a bigger girl and being told I could not do certain things. Even now as an adult and still being bigger I am having a hard time believing in myself. this book has made me realize I should follow my dreams and not let being a bigger girls stop me!!

Finally
Almost every book seems to be about a skinny girl. So glad to finally listen to one that has a bigger gal. I love it! This book brought on an emotion Rollercoaster. From laughter to tears, to my own self doubt to encouragement, I enjoyed every bit of this book.

I loved this book and I hated too. Let me explain. I loved it because it showed an accurate portrayal of what it's like to be a "fat girl". It is so good to see our stories being told and told truthfully. I hated this story for the same reason. It was told so truthful and it was har to listen to but fun at the same time! I really think everyone should read or listen to this book!.

Funny read/listen
This book was funny and has lots of humour for you. It’s refreshing reading / listening to characters that you can relate to. Great narration from Stefanie.

Dancing Queen!
Dancing Queen by Charlotte Roth is a great listen with brutal honesty. As someone who is overweight, many things in this book hit home. The character of Fiona was so endearing. I really enjoyed this book. Stefanie Kay was great performing this book. Thank you Audiobook Obsession for this wonderful listen!

Quick witted story!
I was slightly worried when I read the synopsis.... I make snap decisions all the time based on covers or if I've listened (or read), and enjoyed, the author previously. I've enjoyed several of Chatlotte Roth's previous books. I was tickled with Dancing Queen way more than I expected too! It's sweet and light but there's also this contention that's addressed like a billboard sign in Vermont. It's big, blaring and obvious that this book is about body image and the struggle peoplefacw, big or small. It's about the struggle we have within ourselves, our family unit, and even work or social events. I'll tell ya, as a bit girl myself, I am not a fan of the word fat. Its demeaning and I'm way more than a number on a scale. That is exactly what we get from this story.
However, it isn't just a deep story facing those inner demons most people struggle with. I'll tell ya, Charlotte Roth sure knows how to tell a story. This one runs you through a gamut of emotions. Plus their some funness that I was shocked with. I couldn't get enough of it! Then, we have Stu and Fiona's budding chemistry. I couldn't help smiling through the story! I think it's one many are going to enjoy. The narrator, Stefanie Kay was just great. I'm not sure I've listened to her previously but I tend to read around 10 audiobooks a week so I could have listened but I tend to get slightly n and story! I'll be watching for more from both of them.

Amazing layered story
I honestly don’t know where to start. I was blown away by Charlotte Roth’s Dancing Queen. Stephanie Kay did a fabulous job of bringing the book alive with her on point narration. I loved that Fiona and Stu were such believable engaging characters as were the secondary characters. The story made me laugh and at times cry with all its twists and turns. And the ending... just wow. I was fortunate to receive this audio via Audiobook Obsession.

Great listen!
I really enjoyed it! I’ve always been a “big girl” so Fiona is relatable for me. It’s an inspirational and humorous story! Charlotte Roth did an awesome job writing! Stefanie Kay did a great job narrating!
