Jemima J. (Paperback)
Jane Green (author)- We can order this
Number one best-seller Jane Green - author of Babyville and Straight Talking - explores reinvention and self-discovery in Jemima J.
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?
Jemima J. is a brilliantly funny, honest novel about ugly ducklings and swans, attraction, addiction and the meaning of true love.

Fluff, ultra chick lit and dull
A fat girl who loses the weight, buys new clothes and becomes a babe. Its sexiest, stupid and completely dull. I loathed this book. Badly written and the characters were not likeable...
