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.

“There’s got to be an easier way than dating. I want the shortcut. I just want to find my person and start our lives together.”

After a one-night stand with her clingy ex, Aaliyah James has an epiphany: this ain’t it. She knows what she wants, and she’s ready to move past casual hookups, flings, and situationships.

But for her family, the clock is ticking—after all, she’s almost thirty. And when they imply that her personality (and her body) might be too big to land a man, she lets them know they’ve gone too far—and 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 she’s 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 app—but 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 love—or is her real match closer than she thinks?

Thos book is good I felt like I was watching a movie I love the banters between the two main characters. love it 😀!

Another Danielle Allen Hit

Take a bow Ms. Allen! Ive waited so long for Curvy Girl Summer and it was SO worth the wait! I wanted to fight Aaliyah’s uncle (still do) Aaliyah and Amad have my heart.
Wesleigh , take your bow as well queen! You truly NEVER miss! You make me feel like I’m listening to a full cast. Every personality shines through your narration! You a true master with an AMAZING gift!!!

Great read!

This was such an enjoyable and entertaining read! I really enjoyed the story and the characters as well. If you’re looking for a good summer read, this is it!

Cute

Wesleigh’s delivery is on point! Her voice is engaging and captivating. She makes the storyline believable. Thanks goodness everyone was REGULAR in this book (for the most part)

such a cute book

first time reading or listening to this author I loved it however I was mad it took all the book for Allyiah and Ahmad to express their feelings. of course Wesleigh shioban did the damn thing on this book. I want to hear more from this author.

Extremely Enjoyable!!!

This book is very well written. It is funny, thought provoking and “hot”. I love the banter between the characters. I finished it one day. Oh and Wesleigh Siobhan is an outstanding narrator.
Thank you Danielle.

A true summer read

I need Part 2; the story ends with a cliffhanger. But over all this book is a great read it draws you from the beginning and immediately comes in with the spice. You learn that Aaliyah is confident but gets in her own head a lotttt. Ahmad is a gentleman but has his own demons he is hiding himself as he enjoys a summer watching Aaliyah but friends become lovers and in denial is good. Aaliyah doesn’t let her weight be an issue for her and speaks up to call people out before they disrespect her. It’s a true curvy girl read. Be bold and be you.

Babe this book is a must read/listen

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end I have to say it is my absolute fav of all the books I have listened to . It was funny and very relatable. So don’t look any further you won’t be disappointed.

Unexpected storyline

I loved this book. I was pleasantly surprised by the themes this author addressed: body image, self acceptance, trauma, and relationships. The storyline was so captivating I finished this book in a day and a half. Annnnnnnnnd the narrator truly brought the story to life.

Everything and More!!

This book gave me all the feels! As a curvy girl myself I definitely appreciated the raw reality of the struggles but bringing it back to pure confidence and self love! And the way Ahmad took care of Aaliyah was unmatched! And I must give props to the amazing Wesleigh Siobhan!! My first time listening to an audiobook with just her narrating and I didn’t even miss a male voice. She’s truly the GOAT!
