Welcome to the world of the Adorable Fat Girl. Our funny, gorgeous and bonkers heroine, Mary Brown, is 50lbs overweight. When she realises she can't cross her legs, has trouble bending over to tie her shoelaces, and discovers that even her hands and feet look fat, it's time to take action.

But what action?

She's tried every diet under the sun.

So she heads down to 'Fat Club' where she meets a cast of funny characters and one particular man who catches her eye.

Featuring a gorgeous neighbour (Downstairs Dave), a great, big, fun man (Ted), lots of shennanigans, lots of fun and some sadness as we follow Mary's life for six weeks.

The story is laugh-out-loud funny and will resonate with anyone who has dieted, tried to keep up with any sort of exercise programme or spent 10 minutes in a changing room trying to extricate herself from a way too-small garment that she ambitiously tried on and is now completely stuck in. 

I HAVE THE BEST, MOST LOVELY, LOYAL, SUPPORTIVE READERS IN THE WORLD. Here are some of my reviews:

"I adored the various storylines, loved the quirky and captivating characters, and was beguiled by Ms. Bloom's colorful and highly amusing writing style. I am hopelessly addicted. More Fat Girl, please!"

"The book was just a delight to read. Every time I picked the book up I could guarantee that it was going to make me smile. The full-length novel was funny, this one was hilarious, and heart-breaking at the same time. I was completely and utterly hooked to the pages and didn't want the book to end."

"The last thing on earth I need is another addiction, but I fear I have acquired a new one for the cunningly amusing author Bernice Bloom and her wily Adorable Fat Girl series. Mary Brown is an adorable yet outrageous Queen-Sized trouble-magnet and party animal who manages to embroil herself in the oddest of quandaries."

"I can't recommend this book enough.

This series is fast becoming my favourite and I can't wait to see what's in-store next for Mary. I urge you to pick up these books, you won't be disappointed!"

"THE most heartwarming, funny and emotional read. It's great to have a more real life heroine for a change who doesn't have the perfect figure or any hang ups. If you want a realistic, laugh out loud and entertaining read, then you really need to read these fabulous books by Bernice Bloom."
