Summary

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?

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

Very confusing book. didn't like the trope used of down trodden fat girl developing a personality when she looses weight

The protagonist is a really horrible character, ok she has a terrible relationship with her mother, again it's mother's fault I'm like this. She does some really horrible things in her quest for the ideal and I couldn't warm to her at all.

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!!

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.....

Unexpected

This book was not what I expected but I really enjoyed it! Disappointing ending though… not how I thought it would finish. Definitely worth the listen though!
