'Heartwrenching and inspiring'
(COSMOPOLITAN )'Searingly honest ... gut-wrenchingly sad'
(FIRST magazine )'An incredibly honest memoir many women will relate to'
(The Sun )Product Description
THE FAT GIRL FROM HOLLYOAKS is the story of a girl who spent her childhood and teen years caught up in a cyle of binge-eating, gaining a stone every year of her life, to reach her early twenties weighing 24 stone. Despite this she fulfilled her dreams of becoming an actress and four four years played Chloe on Hollyoaks, in a ground-breaking role as the first character on the show who didn't conform to the glossy format. Mikyla went on to break her dependency on food and shed an incredible 9 stone to reach her healthy weight of 15 stone (and 6 foot!) today. She will never be skinny, but she is happy and healthy.
This is a memoir about being different and suffering for it, and about having the courage to change your life.

My friend recommended this book to me and at first i thought... not another boring life of a celeb tring to make a few quid. How i was wrong. I gave the book a go for the simple reason i thought i could relate to Mikayla saying as i am also of the slightly over-padded kind. I could not out this book down! It is written so well and i admire Mikayla's honesty and particulary her sense of humour. Some parts made me shed a tear and others laugh out loud. To me, thats a successful read.

Never a Hollyoaks fan but saw the book on sale so gave it a go. I was more interested in losing weight part of it than TV part. Really enjoyed it. Funny, sad, TV bits interesting too. Really worth a read. Suprised me how good it was.
