I couldnt put this down, what a delight. I laughed, i cheered and i cried. The characters are so real, and what a twist to have the kind, vulnerable lead be a male with the strong, feisty yet eventually vulnerable lead be female.
Fletcher is a pure delight, the way he turns the tables on Sofie is amazing and delightful.
Ava lends the humour and and sweetness as the story ultimately lends itself to pure fairy tale whilst tackling harder issues (addiction, rape, and a childs views on life) with a senaitivity and realism that makes the story enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book and wanted to read more. However I did not like the title, to be honest it put me off the book. Also the book ended abruptly when I was wanting more.

Loved this story of Pudgie and Fletcher. Fantastic characters, engaging and entertaining plot. Enjoyed the development of the family relationships and the promotion of individual body types. This book brought lots of big issues to the forefront to make the reader think without being too aggressive.

Will definetly read this book again and get others by this author! Will be reccommending this book to others.

This book was a good afternoon read. Not my favorite of this author’s but still I’m not sorry I read it. Would I read this again? Well no, probably not, but good for a quick read.

"Even with more awareness and the #MeToo movement, a lot of men held onto their jobs despite shocking allegations because it all boiled down to a matter of he said/she said, and society was hard-wired to defer to whatever he said as truth."

This powerful book completely surpasses the breaking of boundaries, smashes them to smithereens with a size 10 heel, sets fire to the debris and casually walks away as the pile of broken boundaries explodes behind.

Controversial topics are the main theme focused on in this book, and Ginger Voight does it well. There's racism, sexism, homophobia, sexual assault and drug addiction to name a few. The author is unapologetic in her narrative of the worst of human nature. However; this book isn't full of resentment, it's full of the joys of rising above bigotry, bullies and your own self-doubt.

This book produced great imagery for me, concoctions of detailed descriptions are found in force, lending a strong hand to the emotional pull of the story. The characters are realistic, highlighting the good and the evil of the more prominent traits found in people.

I think my own gripe is that it is a little bit fairy-tale-esque. I am the first person to fan over a happily ever after, but I'm not sure that this one was done in necessarily the most impacting way. Entertaining, yes. But I got a bit bored of the drawn out process of the romance between Sofie and Fletcher. If anything, I was more emotionally invested in the long lost love of Sofie's parents. I think that because Sofie is such a positive role model, for girls especially, and encourages people of all kinds, sizes and ages to accept themselves for who they are and validates their feelings, that she shouldn't have been so quick to abandon not just her own feelings towards somebody else, but their feelings towards her. I think that sends the wrong message and reality is more give-and-take than that, and any kind of one sided romantic perseverance isn't necessarily a good thing to want.


Overall, this story was engaging, ground-breaking, and Sofie is a worthy big, fat heroine.


Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A heart hardened Hollywood woman and a sexy male nurse that melts her heart. Ginger Voight has written an emotional book that pulls you into the story of Sofie and Fletcher. You really understand why these characters tick and the story is so well written. Sofie can be a nasty woman, but Fletcher can be a really sweet man. What will happen with this romance? Why is Sofie nasty? I can't wait to read another from this author. I am hooked.

Big Fat Bitch is utterly fantastic! Ginger Voight truly digs deep for this story of a powerful woman in Hollywood who needs to find her inner strength to be just as mighty in her personal life. Sofie Vincent is a force to be reckoned with, show-runner extraordinaire on the set of Vindication, everyone shaking in their boots should they miss a line or come to work not their best. I was even scared for them at first since she rules that set with an iron fist. But then we get the backstory. The reasons behind Sofie's actions and slowly but surely that brick wall around her heart, her soul and her size 14 body finally start to crumble.

At the center of her new outlook on life, albeit a painful one, is the unassuming but very sexy nurse that is Fletcher Sullivan. Voight gives Sofie just the kind of man she never even knew she needed when Fletcher comes waltzing into her life, threatening to expose her alter ego and peeling back the layers of her hardened heart. I just love him. The way he isn't afraid to go toe to toe with the big fat bitch and show her a world that doesn't have to exist on hiding her true self under a coat of armor. I could sense the electricity right from the start. And it is very slow burn kind of romance. And this is ok because this book is not about their love affair. Instead it is Sofie's journey to accept what she cannot change and embrace what is the inevitable. Her less than stellar relationship with her mother is at the core of this story and I found myself tearing up over and over again at the pain that Sofie felt at the hands of her mother's words. And not to give anything away but it's not the spoken word but the written one.

This soul-searching odyssey for Sofie Vincent is one filled with an all-consuming denial based on what she perceives as the world's opinion of her when she was young. And I loved that the Author used Fletcher's daughter as the bridge between the old Sofie and and the new Sofia. One proud to carry her family's name and one proud of her lineage. This is not an easy road and Sofie has many stops and starts as she emerges from the ball-busting tyrant to the woman she has secretly always wanted to be. Along the way, she is surrounded by the most wonderful characters with Fletcher, Ava, Davina, Vincent and Rose adding the perfect touch to this tender story. And it is tender. It is heartbreaking. But it is beautiful and as usual, the Author puts a bit of herself into her heroine and gives us her take on what it is like to be a bit zaftig but still take the world by storm. Ginger Voight does that with each of her books, always providing a heroine who is much more worthy of true happiness than she thinks. Heroines who are gorgeous inside and out if they just take the time to look.

Big Fat Bitch is one of Voight's best to date with what feels like a zillion easter eggs for the taking. I love that she extends her fictional worlds to include the new kid on the block (so to speak) with each new story and how they continue to make me sigh with their random acts of kindness and sure smiles.

Ginger Voight always delivers and Big Fat Bitch is no exception. I'm thrilled she is back and happily give this latest of hers a Big Fat 5 Stars!
