From body-acceptance advocate and MEGABABE founder Katie Sturino comes a heartwarming and hilarious debut.
Sunny Greene is thirty-five, recently divorced, facing the looming prospect of going solo to her little brother's wedding, and currently trying to find anything plus-sized in the Bergdorf Goodman swimsuit department that doesn't make her want to cry. It's not going well. But isn't rock bottom the perfect place to start a climb? She decides it's now or never. Sunny has her PR empire, her gorgeous Chelsea apartment, her two dogs, and her loyal best friends. Maybe it's time to just love her body and accept herself for who she is. With a new commitment to confidence, her journey begins. Who says a plus-sized divorcee can't put herself first, feel beautiful, and date up a storm? Of course things are never straightforward in the dating world. Is fate knocking at her door with Dennis, the charming and down-to-earth mailman, or should she be with Ted, the business tycoon who seems ready to make her size-inclusive swimsuit brand a reality? And what should she do about her ex, who shows up unexpectedly, eager to reconnect? With the same candor and confidence her followers love, Sturino brings us Sunny Greene, a Carrie Bradshaw for the next generation, and her journey through the trials and triumphs of dating, friendship, and finding yourself.
