Dancing Queen

Every body can be a dancer's body! All her life, Fiona has dreamed of becoming a dancer but she was always told that dancing was not for "fat girls" like her. Now, at age thirty-five, Fiona is again confronted with her weight issues when the HR department kindly encourages her and a co-worker, Stu, to attend a support group for people with "health" issues. When quilting is suggested as a hobby to help with their total opposite eating disorders (Fiona loves everything calorie, Stu tries to avoid any), Stu insanely suggests they enter a local version of Dancing With the Stars instead... What follows is a fantastic journey with a lot of ups and downs, sore feet, self-doubt, sweat and tears mixed in with ghosts from the past. Dancing Queen is a warmhearted and humorous story about self-doubt, dancing, friendship, and the courage to follow your dreams no matter what size you are. "If you love fast-paced, feel-good books, with snappy dialogue, lots of humor and heart, this is the book for you."

I really enjoyed this because it is a real life issue, people are told they cannot do things because they are big and basically putting them down, in Dancing Queen, Fiona proves that she CAN do what she wants, regardless of what people keep saying.
It also had a bit of sibling rivalry going on, which we find out why later in the book and also a secret revealed.
Overall a great audiobook, the narrator was spot on with her emotion throughout and the storyline was great.
