Life has been crazy and I've been lazy (and look at that, I'm a poet). On to an indie book I really enjoyed! Now a mentioned, I share a kindle with my wife, hence the unusual selection but this book really was funny. It made it on to my rave scale, which is pretty big.
The Blurb
Ace Jones needs a vacation, but she's not going to get it. What she gets instead is a good dose of scandalous small town politics that takes her on a wild quest for truth and redemption. Things get really complicated when the love of her life, who she hasn’t seen or heard from in over three years, shows up and vows not to leave town until she agrees to marry him. Diary of a Mad Fat Girl is as adventurous as it is entertaining as Ace and her friends delve into illegal surveillance, stalking, and covert operations in a strip club.
Diary of a Mad Fat Girl
The main character, Ace, is the mad fat girl, and she is a foul mouthed ballsy lady who stands up for anything and everything. Basically the story goes that her friend is having the crap beaten out of her by her husband. And Ace and another friend take it upon themselves (well not exactly - read the story and you'll see) to collect evidence to prove to their friend why she should divorce the husband. You wouldn't think such a serious subject could be so funny but the author does black comedy really well. It had me laughing on the subway, something I prefer not to do. The thing I found interesting about the author (when I did a quick google for this review) is that she actually got picked up by a publishing house when they saw this book and it's getting re-released next February by the publisher. This means it still comes under an Indie book, as my wife purchased it long before it got big (I'm pretty sure of that). I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a laugh and not take life too seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it gets a 4 on the rave scale - a FOUR! That's right, I really enjoyed it and if there were mistakes, I didn't notice them.
