Synopsis

“This feel-good, uplifting read is filled with positive messages about self-care and self-love. It is sure to please foodies, home-makeover buffs, and anyone looking for a light-hearted romantic read.” –USA Today  

A sexy romance about a plus-size sweetheart who gets a full-life makeover after a brutal breakup and falls for the incredibly hot contractor renovating her home.

Savvy Sheldon spends a lot of time tiptoeing around the cracks in her life: her high-stress and low-thanks job, her clueless boyfriend and the falling-apart kitchen she inherited from her beloved grandma—who taught her how to cook and how to love people by feeding them. But when Savvy’s world starts to crash down around her, she knows it’s time for some renovations.

Starting from the outside in, Savvy tackles her crumbling kitchen, her relationship with her body, her work–life balance (or lack thereof) and, last but not least, her love life. The only thing that doesn’t seem to require effort is her ride-or-die squad of friends. But as any home-reno-show junkie can tell you, something always falls apart during renovations. First, Savvy passes out during hot yoga. Then it turns out that the contractor she hires is the same sexy stranger she unintentionally offended by judging based on appearances. Worst of all, Savvy can’t seem to go anywhere without tripping over her ex and his latest "upgrade." Savvy begins to realize that maybe she should’ve started her renovations the other way around: beginning with how she sees herself before building a love that lasts.

"A heartfelt, hopeful, and humorous exploration of the importance of learning to love yourself...a joy to read.” –Booklist, STARRED review

Okay….let’s get down to the nitty gritty of this book. It was an okay read. Nothing spectacular or amazing. I went into this book completely blind without reading the synopsis and just decided to enjoy the book for what it was. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver the way that I expected. Savvy is in a......more

Bruh, sorry but this was a Nope. I read the entire thing and liked Nothing about it. I kept reading hoping it’d get better but man…it’s bad. It never did. My thoughts are very similar to many other reviews. The diet culture, fat-shaming in here has me cringing. As someone whose been told “You’ve let......more

I read this novel (pre-publication) in two days! Yes, two. Taj McCoy has a fantastic sense of plot development and pacing. More than that, reading a body positive book with a curvy women of color who is a leading lady and NOT a sidekick, made me smile ear-to-ear. Savvy is a talented, compassionate,......more
