About Curvy Girl Summer:
After a one-night stand with her clingy ex, Aaliyah James has an epiphany: this ainโt it. She knows what she wants, and sheโs ready to move past casual hookups, flings, and situationships.
But for her family, the clock is tickingโafter all, sheโs almost thirty. And when they imply that her personality (and her body) might be too big to land a man, she lets them know theyโve gone too farโand 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 sheโs 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 appโbut 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 loveโor is her real match closer than she thinks?
