ABANDONED. Chick lit about an overweight woman who in an alternate universe is hot

[Divya]

So I read this book long ago about a fat girl who in some supernatural way or something, lands in a universe where overweight girls are the norm for attractiveness and thinness isn't appealing. Any ideas?

How long ago was "long ago"? 6 months, 6 years, 60 years?

What age group is it aimed at?

Other than the heavier girls being the desired figure, what else goes on in it?

Is it part of a series?

Any memory of the cover?

How did you find the book--personal recommendation, on the Our Staff Recommends shelf at the library/bookshop, review, the cover/back blurb grabbed your attention?

Alternate Beauty--Tricia's suggestion.

Divya is still looking for this and wrote:

"I read this book ages ago, and the protagonist is an overweight girl who in pretty sure is a receptionist at some hot shot agency that is mostly populated by slim, pretty girls or something. Then somehow the world changes and fat is considered the new hot and she gets discovered and becomes famous and gets this awesome new boyfriend and her thin, formerly hot friend becomes the new cast off or something."

What is ages ago? 5 years? 20 years?

Did you check out Tricia's suggestion?

I think it's Alternate beauty, the synopsis sounds exactly the same as what I read.

I'm not even sure exactly when I read it, it was around 2011 or so maybe. I don't remember the cover, it wasn't part of a series for sure. I'll check out Alternate Beauty and tag the post accordingly.

Alternate Beauty for the link to Divya's possible book.

If it isn't your book:
You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 213 from seven months ago where fewer eyes will see it. Get back in the game! Bump!
You can do this by typing a new comment at the end of the thread, or even by typing the word "bump."
Good luck!.

No response, moving to Abandoned folder.
