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?

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.

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.

It’s been a long time!

I cant remember the last time i read a book that kept me smiling from start to finish! I absolutely loved it!

Soooo Good!

Truly enjoyed this book! A cute and loveable summer read! A woman's size does not deny her of being loved! Can't wait for part 2!

The dating stories and friendship

Really good read loved the narrator. Loved laughing at her friendships with Ahmad and her girls

Yesss Curvy Girl!

Cute little read. I read the book and just had to come back and hear Wesleigh read it. Made it even better!

Content

Awesome book, I loved it can’t wait for the next book. Narrator was great. Story was interesting and I couldn’t stop listening. I was disappointed when it ended.

Witty

I really like the chemistry between the two. The book was really entertaining. I will be looking for other titles.

Loved the character development and how they fit into the storyline.

One of the things I enjoyed and appreciated is how the family, friends and colleagues were equally part of the story. I also appreciated the way online dating was part of the story. The pitfalls, angst, awkward moments and deception coupled with the hope and desire to truly meet someone special.
