Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell by Taj McCoy
3.0
I'd read this book for weeks and somewhere along the line kind of had a burning need for something else and I just never went back to it. Until I did.
And now that I finished it, I think it's safe to rate it a solid 3 stars.
I enjoyed it and the message it aims to send to readers all over the world, I just wish the layout would've been done a bit differently. Here, we have Savannah Sheldon, a bright, ambitious and kind woman who finds herself in a long-term relationship with someone who doesn't value a single thing about her. She settles into a routine with this guy and before she knows it, it's been years since they 've been together yet they literally have nothing to show for their union.
If anything, Jason is hell bent on breaking Savvy down then leaving her behind to tend to the scars of his verbal abuse and cruelty all alone. He dumps her, saying he doesn't appreciate how she's let herself go and that as his career is starting to look up, he needs a proper woman by his side (don't even ask who's been helping him out in the time that he was unemployed!)
Heartbroken, Savvy makes few promises to herself and throughout the length of the novel we see her reach each and every one of her goals. She gets back into the court and starts toning her body and improving her fitness, she excels at work which earns her a promotion, she meets new people and even strikes a cooking book deal along the way, she finally commits and gets someone to help her remodel her house (drumroll: she and the contractor fall in love)
All in all, this is an amazing book. I loved the descriptions and other narrative devices that painted the full picture of what Taj wanted us to see while reading their work.
