Review

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 - Jennifer Weiner on CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRLLiza Palmer is definitely one of my new favorite writers! - Meg CabotSlick and highly readable - Elle on CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRLA subtly sophisticated romance that outclasses most of the genre's other offerings... If it sounds chick litty, it is, but consider it haute chick lit. Palmer's prose is sharp, her characters are solid and her narrative is laced with moments of graceful sentiment - Publisher's Weekly on SEEING ME NAKEDPardon the pun, but CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRL is far from lightweight. Its message about self image and the power of attitude in making positive change is delivered in a snappy fashion. In a word: genuine. - Herald SunSmart, funny and heartbreakingly honest. - Johanna Edwards, bestselling author of THE NEXT BEST THING
