Big Girls Don't Cry

Francesca Clementis

Marina has spent most of her adult life going from diet to diet, binge to binge. There isn't a diet she hasn't tried or a type of chocolate she hasn't sampled. But though big girls aren't supposed to cry, in Marina's experience, they don't have much fun either. She's 31, almost fifteen stone and desperate. Scientist David Sandhurst throws her a life-line. He's the inventor of a miracle drug - a drug he believes can help people lose weight without dieting or exercise. All he needs to do is prove it ...Enrolled in the year-long test, Marina soon finds herself - miracle of miracles - losing weight and gaining confidence. Soon she's waving goodbye to her hips and hello to her new-improved love-life - and a whole new set of problems! For Marina's about to discover that inside every big woman there's a thin one dying to get out ... and eat chocolate! A stunning debut novel that will make you laugh, cry and very hungry!
