“This feel-good, uplifting read is filled with positive messages about self-care and self-love. It is sure to please foodies, home-makeover buffs, and anyone looking for a light-hearted romantic read.” –USA Today
A sexy romance about a plus-size sweetheart who gets a full-life makeover after a brutal breakup and falls for the incredibly hot contractor renovating her home.
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. The only thing that doesn’t seem to require effort is her ride-or-die squad of friends. But as any home-reno-show junkie can tell you, something always falls apart during renovations. First, Savvy passes out during hot yoga. Then it turns out that the contractor she hires is the same sexy stranger she unintentionally offended by judging based on appearances. Worst of all, Savvy can’t seem to go anywhere without tripping over her ex and his latest "upgrade." Savvy begins to realize that maybe she should’ve started her renovations the other way around: beginning with how she sees herself before building a love that lasts.

Customer Reviews
basic but feel-good
this wasn’t a book unlike any other but it was a light, fun read after the depressing events of first few chapters. as savvy’s life picks up so does the book itself. the characters are all very lovable and i had a good time. the voice actor made some choices i didnt love but overall did a nice job
Hope you like tennis!
I liked this book, the characters and settings. Although I didn’t understand Savvy’s job or I missed it when I listened to the book. I don’t know a lot about tennis either and there is a lot of tennis in there. I appreciated the realistic characterization of a plus size woman’s life, feelings about her body and the journey Savvy took to “Upgrade” herself. Worth the time!
