Curvy Girl Summer

"Like Michelle Buteau’s TV series Survival of the Thickest in book form, indie publishing queen Danielle Allen’s Curvy Girl Summer is a saucy, spicy modern romantic escape. Aaliyah is a 29-year-old IT professional with a fabulous apartment and thriving career, but her family can’t get over the fact that she’s single and, in some family members’ view, too fluffy to be in demand on the modern marriage mart. Aaliyah sets out to prove them wrong by finding a long-term romantic partner before her 30th birthday and finally squash that negative talk for once and for all. Unfortunately, the romantic pickings are shockingly shady. And the highlight of each date is the time she spends lamenting what went wrong with her favorite (possibly already taken) hot bartender, Ahmad. The best kinds of sexy shenanigans ensue."
