About the book

Number One bestseller Jane Green - author of Life Swap and Mr Maybe - explores ugly ducklings, swans and the meaning of true love with brilliant humour and honesty. Jemima Jones is overweight. About seven stone overweight. Treated like a slave by her thin and bitchy flatmates, lorded over at the Kilburn Herald by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented, but better paid), her only consolation is food. What with that and her passion for her charming, sexy colleague Ben, she knows her life needs changing. But can Jemima reinvent herself? And should she? 'Compulsively readable. The ultimate makeover novel' Sunday Times 'The kind of novel you'll gobble up in a single sitting' Cosmopolitan 'Green writes with acerbic wit about the law of the dating jungle' Sunday Express
