Product Description
Review
Overweight TV producer Stella hates the gardening programme she works - on after all, it involves a timid vicar, his sex mad wife and an obese gardener. Stressed and fed up as her life collapses around her, she focuses on her passion for baking and wonders whether she can turn it into a career. However, what follows is a series of comical disasters. You want to devour this smart and fabulously funny read in one go! --Closer
The right work-life balance is something TV producer Stella Weston has worked hard to perfect. But with a boss bent on sabotaging her career and her loving family feeling increasingly neglected, she turns to the one thing she knows she can get right: baking cakes. Don't read this on an empty stomach! --Now magazine
Naughty but nice: A sparky, funny debut novel that combines a cute chick-lit tale with cake recipes. What's not to like about that? Can TV producer Stella find salvation in the bottom of a baking tin and be happy once more? --Bella
A funny, well-written look at whether you can turn a passion into a profession, with lots of hilarious dates, mishaps and angst woven in...I really enjoyed it. --The Daily Mail

I don't usually read chicklit, but a friend recommended this to me so I thought I'd give it a try. I was hooked from the very first page. I loved the idea of the vicar's randy wife which made me laugh out loud. I also liked the backdrop of the crazy world of daytime TV and its larger-than-life characters. As a working mum, the main character, Stella, and her feelings of constantly being pulled in all directions really resonated with me. But what I really liked about the book was that it had both humour and pathos. A cracking debut novel and I look forward to reading more by the same author.

I was seriously disappointed when i finished this book :) i wanted it to carry on because i was enjoying every page so much º. The book has brought to life the main character making her so real that certain things she does is exactly how you would react and think in the situations. I found myself wanting to share snippets from the book with family and friends, especially the moments when i sat laughing out loud as my husband watched a boring film. This book is a chick flick in paperback form. I fully recommend this book if you want to giggle, feel every emotion going and enjoy a bit of cake!

Fat Girls & Fairy Cakes by Sue Watson won me over in the first couple of pages.
It centres on Stella Weston, who works as a TV producer with the boss from hell. I was laughing out loud at so much of the story, from the goings-on on location in Rochdale while filming the religious gardening programme, to the disastrous encounters with Diego the doctor, and the numerous clever one-liners.
The story has some very touching moments, too. Stella's marriage is rocky, she struggles to make a success of a new venture and troubles beset her closest friends. But Sue Watson handles these aspects with great warmth, leading her main character through the serious stuff, and eventually out the other side.
An absolute joy to read, Fat Girls & Fairy Cakes is one of those books that you just don't want to end.
