Maggie’s dreams remain unfulfilled. She works in a coffee shop, has never shifted the pounds, and harbours a painfully unrequited crush on her colleague.

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRL is smart, funny and heartbreakingly honest. I couldn't put it down. Liza Palmer infuses her novel with humour, candour and lots of heart. This is one conversation I never wanted to end!
Engaging and poignant and heartbreakingly real, Liza Palmer's tale of best friends, true love and just what size happily-ever-after wears is a winning conversation.
