Man oh man did I love this one!!! I have been following Katie Sturino for a few years now. I love her taking thin celeb outfits and recreates them in her midsize body. And if you haven't tried her Megababe products - you should!!! I am not as familiar with her outside of this but from the little that I do know, her voice definitely came across in this book.

I love when we have successful FMC! Often times the FMC is trying to figure out who they are and are in the same old job for years on end. Sunny owns her own PR company is very successful. What not has been as much of a success is her love life. She had been with her husband for a year before they decided to call it quits (together for 6 years) and the book kicks off with Sunny put the pieces back together. I love seeing Sunny figure out what kind of man does she want? Is it the neighborhood postman? Is it the high power investor? Or maybe a random construction worker? She still has her next niggling in the back of her brain but for the most part she is just looking ahead to the future.

I thought the inclusion of the newsletter was a fun extra. Normally mixed media is a miss for me but in this case, I felt it worked really well. It was like her diary and we all were at a front row seat to what was happening in her life.

I read this book all with my ears and I wish I had took the time to mark certain passages because whew were they relatable as someone with a bigger body. Sturino really nailed what it's like going into stores and not being able to find anything in your size. And I'll just note that more stores/brands are starting to carry bigger sizes but either they don't last, the prices are outrageous or its just not advertised. Sunny saw a problem in stores and had the resources to be able to create her own swimwear line (fun fact Sturino *just* started her own swimwear line). Her and Avery were such a dream combo. It was fun to read! I did love how this is the area where Sturino focused the issues being in a bigger body as opposed to having that be an issue in Sunny's dating life.

As mentioned, I read this one with my ears and narrated Yael Rizowy was perfect! I thought she really brought out Sunny's personality and Sturino's voice throughout the book. I also loved her voice for Dennis. I definitely would recommend via audio.

This really was just such a delight and I hope Sturino writes more books!
