From Booklist
It's a plot torn from the pages of TV Guide: six overweight women live in a house of temptations and compete to see who loses the most weight. But it's far more satisfying than your average prime-time fare. The main character, Kat, always believed that life begins when you're thin. When her best friend, Donna, reads about a casting call for "From Fat to Fabulous," Kat decides she has nothing to lose but her belly. Of course, fame comes with a price. The tabloids dub her "Kat the Brat," and the show's surprise guest, her online boyfriend, dumps her on national television. Not to despair, however; Kat's story does have a happy ending. Edwards addresses image issues with wit and candor, and what's most refreshing is that losing weight doesn't make Kat's life perfect. Fans of Jennifer Weiner's realistic female protagonists will find a new favorite here.

Enjoyable, easy, entertaining reading. I found Kat a bit self-centred from the get-go but I still felt empathy for her poor self-image. It is hard to have a healthy body-image when all around you worships the stick insect. There was a touch of everything's-going-to-be-just-dandy about the ending but not because Kat lost weight, which she did down to a size 14, but because she started to develop a better attitude towards herself and others, improving her self-esteem. I thought Fat2Fab was a bit lame in the embarassment stakes compared to some reality shows.

Off to see Aus-Charlotte.
