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?

This is one of my favourite books, I have struggled with my weight my whole life and can totally relate to Jemima. I love to read it when I need a motivation boost for being good and would love to see it made into a film. Thanks Jane :-)
