"This feel-good, empowering rom-com will blow you away, guaranteed." - Sarah Smith, author of Simmer DownA delicious debut rom-com about a plus-size sweetheart who gets a full-life makeover after a brutal breakup - with the help of an irresistible cast of friends and family, a kitchen reno and a devastatingly handsome contractor Savvy Sheldon spends a lot of time tiptoeing around the cracks in her life: her high-stress and low-thanks job, her clueless boyfriend and the falling-apart kitchen she inherited from her beloved grandma - who taught her how to cook and how to love people by feeding them. But when Savvy's world starts to crash down around her, she knows it's time for some renovations. Starting from the outside in, Savvy tackles her crumbling kitchen, her relationship with her body, her work-life balance (or lack thereof) and, last but not least, her love life.
