I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. Ther heroine in this book is hilarious. I probably find her especially funny because she reminds me of me. Ouch. You know the drill if you're a woman--use every piece of excercise equipment on the market, try every diet no matter how bizarre, only to end up looking pretty much the same. I commiserated with Lyndsey as she agreed to uncover a new institute as a fraud, all the time hoping it works. Throw in a hunky, drop-dead gorgeous doctor who is fighting his sexual urges, an assistant forced to play the part of his wife even though she's gay, and a roommate who knows every fast food shop owner by name and you have a prescription for fun--and a well-written book.

If you've ever had a weight problem, you know how difficult it is to stay on a diet. In Fat Chance, the pleasingly plump heroine joins a weight loss program that is a government cover up for more sinister doings. The result is a romance that is hysterical, yet true to life even in its patent absurdity. I enjoyed this book enough in hardcover that I purchased it for the Kindle the day it came out. If you like screwball comedy with a punch, buy Fat Chance for your Kindle. You'll love it.

This is a great book to take to the beach-the hero and heroine are delicious and sweep you along through the story. Warning-- diet or no, the food descriptions will make you hungry. So stop worrying about your size and enjoy a romp with Lindsey and Hal.
