Description
Dedicated to any woman who's ever been a few pounds overweight
Sad, lonely Sharon Plunkett is size eighteen. She's tried every fad, every diet and every cream, but like stains of grease on a pure silk blouse, her rolls of fat refuse to budge. The man of her dreams isn't interested, and her skinny friend Debbee only uses her to look good.
But all that changes when Sharon magically finds herself in a fantastic, reversed world - where it's suddenly 'in' to be fat, and 'out' to be slim!
Feted and adored for her curvaceous body and stunning looks, she goes from supermodel to Hollywood icon in a matter of months.
Until... it all starts to go very wrong.
A deliciously wicked satire, Fat Chance bites back at the 'skinny insanity' currently gripping the western world - Size Zero, celebrity weight-obsessed magazines, the fashion and advertising industries, high society and Hollywood.
