Book Review: Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen

 


About:


Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Survival of the Thickest in Danielle Allen’s CURVY GIRL SUMMER, a smoking-hot, hilarious novel about the perils of online dating.

Aaliyah is determined to celebrate her thirtieth birthday with a boyfriend. And after a failed blind date, the local bartender, Ahmad, suggests she joins a dating app.

Filled with lies, catfish, and fetishizing, the wild world of online dating makes Aaliyah think she’s in over her head.

And she is. But with her two best friends and a protective bartender by her side, what could go wrong?

Everything.

Everything could go wrong.

And that’s the problem.

Because as Aaliyah is set on finding exactly what she’s looking for, she ends up finding something she never expects.


MY THOUGHTS


Well guys. I finally finished this one.

Aaliyah was turning 30 but she didn't want her thirtieth birthday to come without having a date for her birthday party. Her family wanted her to get a life partner, her uncle even expressed concerns that the reason for not having a person was that she was a few pounds to heavy.

While navigating the dating Apps and going on numerous dates, Aaliyah befriends bartender Ahmad, who is handsome but "married" at least that is what she thinks. Their relationship takes us on an interesting ride throughout the book.

I liked this book because it is not often that you get to see a plus size main character in a romance. It was interesting to get the perspective of how curvier girls get viewed by men. The only minor thing is that I felt it should have been a bit shorter in the middle. The birthday party scene at the end made up for that though.

Fun and romantic. You can give this one a try.
