Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen
4.5
This book started off with a BANG (IYKYK). It’s safe to say that it captured my attention immediately and kept it throughout the entire book.
Curvy Girl Summer is what I like to call romance plus. We follow Aaliyah during her search for a potential partner + the story covers multiple areas of her life. 👇🏾
✨ Life is NOT over the age of 30 and it’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out.
✨ Setting boundaries with loved ones is hard but necessary.
✨ Being comfortable in your skin!
✨ It feels like the Wild West on these dating apps!
Watching Aaliyah’s dating adventures was so entertaining but at times a little too realistic.
My favorite part of course was the romance! This book doesn’t necessarily follow the traditional romance outline and I enjoyed that. We got to watch our two MCs develop a friendship and eventually come to terms with the feelings they had towards each other. They also had amazing chemistry and great banter.
It is a slow burn but our MMC loves to talk 😉 and there is a workplace scene that was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️!
This book did have ONE element in it that made me nervous. But it resolved itself and I was positively giddy at the end of the story. Actually, I wanted a bit more of the two MCs relationship, but that’s the best feeling, right?
⚠️ Lastly, please check content warnings for possible triggers - grief, fatphobia, body shaming, and complicated family dynamics.
Special thanks to Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
