## Description

'Louise's life reads like a thriller - I had goose-bumps throughout! Brave, funny, emotional and totally relatable for women.' Roz Purcell Drawing on her 33 years of life, broadcaster Louise McSharry writes a memoir in which she holds nothing back. Fat Chance deals with everything from surviving a messed up childhood, to crashing out of education and still making it, to figuring out sex, weight, feminism, make-up, friendship, workplace politics and a whole lot more. 'A brave, heart-breaking yet sometimes funny account of a life full of the issues all women encounter but rarely admit out loud' Examiner 'Heartbreakingly honest. A sharp, well-observed, and ultimately inspirational read. Every woman of every age should read this book' Louise O'Neill 'Hugely enjoyable. So honest and insightful. I loved the positivity and the REALNESS!' Una Mullally 'McSharry presents her funny heartbreaking tale in the tone of the a chat with a good friend' Sunday Mirror
