    Sunny Greene is thirty-five, recently divorced, facing the looming prospect of going solo to her little brother's wedding, and currently trying to find anything plus-sized in the Bergdorf Goodman swimsuit department that doesn't make her want to cry. It's not going well. But isn't rock bottom the perfect place to start a climb?
    She decides it's now or never. Sunny has her PR empire, her gorgeous Chelsea apartment, her two dogs, and her loyal best friends. Maybe it's time to just love her body and accept herself for who she is. With a new commitment to confidence, her journey begins. Who says a plus-sized divorcee can't put herself first, feel beautiful, and date up a storm?
    Of course things are never straightforward in the dating world. Is fate knocking at her door with Dennis, the charming and down-to-earth mailman, or should she be with Ted, the business tycoon who seems ready to make her size-inclusive swimsuit brand a reality? And what should she do about her ex, who shows up unexpectedly, eager to reconnect?
    With the same candor and confidence her followers love, Sturino presents her debut novel and brings us Sunny Greene, a Carrie Bradshaw for the next generation. Readers will fall in love with Sunny and root for her journey through the trials and triumphs of dating, friendship, and finding yourself.

        DEBUT The debut romance from Sturino (Body Talk: How To Embrace Your Body and Start Living Your Best Life) is an engaging and tenderhearted story about Sunny Greene, owner of a public-relations firm. She is recently divorced and coming to terms with feelings that are wrapped up with the dissolution of her marriage. When she and her two best friends decide to take a winter "divorcation," Sunny goes shopping for a swimsuit, a dreadful experience that leads to an anxiety attack in the fitting room. She decides to take matters into her own hands and creates a swimsuit to suit her body, turning this idea into a new business designing swimsuits for women of all sizes. Meanwhile, Sunny is trying out dating apps in a quest to find a date for her brother's wedding and ends up in a love triangle with her hot postman and the financial backer of her swimwear line. All the while, Sunny chronicles her dating life on her Substack, with predictably disastrous results, but Sturino's novel delivers a happily-ever-after. VERDICT An affirming body-neutrality read and a romance wrapped into one package. Recommend to readers of Jennifer Weiner or Olivia Dade.--Kristen Stewart

        A Wisconsin-born New York City transplant sets out to find herself after her divorce. Sunny Greene holds two simultaneous truths in her mind. She's devastated that her husband, Zack, has left her, and she's absolutely certain that he was cheating on her. She's successful by most metrics--she runs a boutique PR company that is doing extremely well; she lives in Chelsea, her dream neighborhood, where she has a six-block walk to work with her two dogs, Sophia and Blanche. But she still feels in pieces over the divorce, despite all the negative commentary that Zack used to pour on her. With her close friends Brooke and Noor--both also recently divorced--she sets out to discover her successful future. But while getting ready for her and her friends' "divorcation," Sunny impulsively decides to try on a swimsuit at Bergdorf Goodman, an adventure that goes terribly wrong when she gets stuck in it. After the resulting panic attack has ended (and a little time has passed), she realizes she has to embrace the person she is. All 5-foot-11, 275 pounds, 35 years of herself. She restarts a newsletter she stopped writing because Zack found it embarrassing; she embraces body neutrality (as she describes it: "Yes I have cellulite, okay--moving on"); and she begins going after what she really wants. When it comes to dating, she's torn between Ted, a financier, and Dennis, a down-to-earth mailman. And she puts in the hours and effort to turn that ill-fated experience in the changing room into a new business. The novel has a straightforward agenda and the author doesn't shy away from making it clear at every turn: Hard work and a belief in yourself will result in success in every endeavor, despite bumps in the road. A novel that offers a character unafraid to embrace who she is: smart, sassy, driven, cheerful--and plus size.
