    About this audiobook

    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.

    Nick Spalding

    Nick Spalding is an author who, try as he might, can’t seem to write anything serious. Before becoming a full-time author, he worked in the communications industry, mainly in media and marketing. As talking rubbish for a living can get tiresome (for anyone other than a politician), he thought he’d have a crack at writing comedy fiction—with a very agreeable level of success so far, it has to be said. Nick has now sold about two million books—including a million books sales with Amazon Publishing alone. This flabbergasts him every single day. Nick lives in the south of England with his lovely (and extremely patient) wife. He’s now in his mid-forties—and is rather annoyed at the universe about it, because it gave him no choice in the matter. He’s also addicted to Thai food, still thinks Batman is just about the coolest thing on earth, and has a dreadful singing voice.

      Confidence With Age

      Jul 15, 2019

      My daughter just turned 23 and she’s beautiful. OK, I’m biased, obviously, but so much that we call beauty comes as a free gift with youth. When Evie complains that her bum is too low-slung to look right in jeans, I see an enviably pert backside that
