From Booklist
Maggie O'Leary is the champion of the overweight. A columnist at a New York newspaper, she writes "Fat Chance," in which she discusses the real obstacles facing overweight people, debunks myths about the obese, and tries to bolster her readers' confidence. Maggie is secure with her own shapely figure until she receives a call from Hollywood actor Mike Taylor. Mike is going to play a diet doctor in an upcoming film, and he wants Maggie to be his consultant. Maggie is reluctant--how can she go to Hollywood, where everyone is skinny and perfect and she's not? So she decides to secretly go on a diet. But she isn't going to be able to hide from her colleagues forever, and when word gets out to her readers, she has to find a way to balance her new look with her old philosophies. Light as a cupcake and as fun to devour, Blumenthal's debut novel (and Red Dress Ink's second hardcover) will likely find many fans. Kristine Huntley

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Red Dress Ink; 0.79 x 8.27 x 5.51 Inches; 304 pages; As Americans throw themselves body, soul and pocketbook into the latest weight-loss craze, Maggie O'Leary's informed column about the pitfalls of dieting is the one sane voice crying out against the dietocracy. Plus-size Maggie, also known as America's Anti-Diet Sweetheart, is perfectly happy with who she is and the life she leads. Until she gets a call from Hollywood's most enticing bachelor, Mike Taylor. At first, Maggie thinks the call is one big joke put on by a particularly obnoxious colleague. But when Maggie learns that Taylor is the real enchilada and that he truly does need her to come out to Hollywood to help him on an upcoming film about a diet doctor, she's in a pickle. Maggie can't possibly turn down this opportunity of a lifetime, but she can't exactly go to Hollywood looking like . . .well, herself. Swearing her trusted assistant to silence, Maggie embarks on a "secret" makeover. From showdowns with her boss, who suspects his star columnist is losing her edge -- er, girth -- and send her Italian pastries to sabotage her efforts, to run-ins with her closest male friend, from walking through the famed red door of beauty to winding up on the wrong side of a positively lethal elliptical trainer, the newly svelte Maggie finds herself navigating a new course. Full of doubts about abandoning the comfortable life she's known --- not to mention deceiving legions of loyal readers who still think of her as their champion -- L.A.-bound Maggie is hell-bent on living out her most tantalizing fantasies! Bursting with wit, insight and heart, Deborah Blumenthal's delicious debut novel reaches beyond the story of Maggie O'Leary to every woman who has tried to find fulfillment. Fat Chance is a lusciously guilt-free pleasure that is good to the last page!. Seller Inventory # 87116
