PRAISE FOR DIARY OF A MAD FAT GIRL

“Diary of a Mad Fat Girl is bawdy, sexy southern fried fun. McAfee makes a powerhouse debut that readers will love.”          

 —Valerie Frankel, Author of It's Hard Not to Hate You and Four of a Kind

About the book

Graciela "Ace" Jones is mad-mad at her best friend Lilly who cancels their annual trip to Panama City for mysterious reasons; at her boss Catherine for "riding her ass like a fat lady on a Rascal scooter;" at her friend Chloe's abusive husband; and especially at Mason McKenzie, the love of her life, who has shown up with a marriage proposal three years too late. Ace is never mad, though, at her near-constant companion, an adorable chiweenie dog named Buster Loo.  Ace's anger begins to dissipate as she takes matters into her own hands to take down Chloe's philandering husband-and to get to the bottom of a multitude of other scandals plaguing Bugtussle, Mississippi. Then, she starts to realize that maybe Mason deserves a second chance after all.  With a sharp and distinctive voice, Stephanie McAfee delivers a hilarious and fast-paced tale about Ace Jones and her two best friends-thick as thieves and tough as nails-navigating Southern small-town politics and prejudices, finding love, and standing up for each other all the way.

About the Author

Ten years ago McAfee decided she wanted to seriously pursue writing. Putting her career as a schoolteacher on hold, McAfee wrote and then self-published her debut novel, DIARY OF A MAD FAT GIRL, as an e-book in 2010. Shortly there after, her e-book novel became a New York Times and USA Today best seller, staying on the lists for nine weeks and receiving rave reviews from McAfee fans across the country. Now in a revised and expanded form, New American Library brings McAfee’s hilariously charming novel into print for the first time.
