Curvy Girl Summer

Written by Danielle Allen

Narrated by Wesleigh Siobhan

Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Survival of the Thickest in Danielle Allen’s CURVY GIRL SUMMER, a smoking-hot, hilarious novel about the perils of online dating.

“There’s got to be an easier way than dating. I want the shortcut. I just want to find my person and start our lives together.”
After a one-night stand with her clingy ex, Aaliyah James has an epiphany: this ain’t it. She knows what she wants, and she’s ready to move past casual hookups, flings, and situationships.

But for her family, the clock is ticking—after all, she’s almost thirty. And when they imply that her personality (and her body) might be too big to land a man, she lets them know they’ve gone too far—and her (nonexistent) man loves her curves, thank you very much. Now, she has seven weeks to find the perfect boyfriend to rub in their faces at the big, fancy birthday celebration she’s been planning.

After her first blind date goes wrong, charming local bartender Ahmad Williamson consoles her with a drink and some playful banter. Aaliyah takes him up on his suggestion to use a dating app—but the more she sees of his warm, funny, and easygoing nature, the less she wants to check her DMs. Will her next swipe bring her closer to true love—or is her real match closer than she thinks?

I really tried but the family is making it unbearable and I’m getting upset lol

[Danneika Graise · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely loved this book. It was the CONFIDENCE for me. Aaliyah had it all except for love. She feels the pressure from her family as she enters her 30s. So she gets advice from Ahmad, who actually helps intol he's "unhelpful." The banter between these two will have you tickled. The spicy ? ? bits in the book will have you blushing (IMO).
