Curvy Girl Summer

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 […] 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪.” Aaliyah wants to bring a date to her 30th birthday party. When she is stood up on a blind date, the friendly bartender talks her into trying out a dating app, and bringing all her dates to his bar so that he can look out for her, and so that she can feel more comfortable. I really enjoyed the premise of this book, and all her dates (which never really go all that well. 😂) The spice was spicing, thank goodness, because that burn was slow! There was so much tension between the two main characters, even if THEY couldn’t see it, I was just dying for them to figure it out! Ahmad was such a cutie, the perfect gentleman…most of the time….👀 Audiobook notes: Wesleigh Siobhan was fabulous! She gave a unique voice to each character, and she brought the perfect amount of humor and emotion to each performance. Thank you to @macmillan.audio for providing me an ALC of this book in exchange for an honest review. What this book is giving: ✅ Contemporary Romance ✅ Single POV ✅ Slow Burn ✅ App Dating ✅ Stranger Bartender to Friend to… ✅ Therapy Rep ✅ Plus Size Rep

I listened to “Curvy Girl Summer” by Danielle Allen, narrated by Wesleigh Siobhan, and it was Amazing! Spoiler Alert! Ahmad: “I need you to tell me what you want… The fact that I’m here should make it clear. The fact that I drove up to damn near every lake house looking for you should make it clear.” Aaliyah: “You drove… You DROVE…" Ahmad: “For you, YES! OMG I loved “Curvy Girl Summer”. I am in my 30s and I’m single and I want to be happily married. I know the stories of how folks found their husband, always seems to happen at random times. Not saying Aaliyah and Ahmad are married but they definitely met random. I loved how he always treated her with respect. Ahmad joked around but he was always the gentleman. I loved how he offered Aaliyah to have her first dates at the bar so he could look out for you. Just a gentleman. I loved how they both were dealing with grief and were real with each other. I loved how they became friends and the love just happened. I loved their passionate love making even though they never said they love each other…they definitely were making love. Much deeper than having sex. I loved how Ahmad made sure they were on the same page before he finished pursing Aaliyah. I loved how they both gained confidence. I loved how Aaliyah never changed for anyone even though her deadline of finding a man was getting close. I love how Aaliyah shared her feelings with her Parents and Uncle and put them in their place. I loved Aaliyah’s friends being the Amen Corner and I loved Ahmad’s friends being real with Aaliyah. I loved Ahmad’s Sister keeping it real with him and telling him the truth. I even loved the bad dates Aaliyah went on because this showed her what she does not want. I just loved “Curvy Girl Summer”!

This book was very well done, IMO.
