About this listen
Meet Zoe and Greg Milton, a married couple who have let themselves go a bit.
Zoe was a stunner in her college days, but the intervening decades have added five stone, and removed most of her self-esteem. Greg's rugby-playing days are well and truly behind him, thanks to countless pints of beer and chicken curry.
When Elise, a radio DJ and Zoe's best friend, tells them about a new competition, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn their lives around. Fat Chance will pit six hefty couples against one another to see who can collectively lose the most weight and walk away with a £50,000 prize.
So begins six months of abject misery, tears, and frustration—that just might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to them - in another laugh-out-loud look at the way we live now from bestselling author Nick Spalding.

Starts out a bit of a downer but is a real gem of a read!
A must read for any 30+ year old experiencing weight gain! It will make you laugh, cry and maybe a little inspired ;)

This book is more like a doco.
What did you like best about Fat Chance? What did you like least?
It is quite a believable story.
I did not feel the compulsion to keep listening to it, but I did anyway. I'm not a quitter!
The male narrator should not try to attempt the female voice. It sounds ludicrous.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
As above: the guy should not try to do the female voice.
Did Heather Wilds and Napoleon Ryan do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Yes they were differentiated well. Each had their own personality and individually were likeable characters
Did Fat Chance inspire you to do anything?
I am inspired to find very strong chairs at barbecues, and to take only the prescribed dose of Ibuporofen.
Any additional comments?
This book is OK. It won't keep you riveted but it will allow your brain to have a few hours off. And that's not a bad thing.

Easy listen
Nice story, easy to listen in the car. I didn't like the male narrators voice - I have heard him in other audio books and didn't like him in those either. But it didn't ruin the story for me. I would recommend this for those who like a nice easy story to listen to , without wanting something too complex.
