Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell
Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell | Taj McCoy
4 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
"This feel-good, empowering rom-com will blow you away, guaranteed." --Sarah Smith, author of Simmer Down A 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. 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.

I REALLY wanted to like this book. I love a plus sized main character. But the majority of the book discusses her dieting and exercising to get a revenge body and it was a bit much for me. I did love her relationships with her friends and family and the descriptions of her cooking. 2⭐️

I had a lot of issues with this one.☹️ Here are a few.

🔹Her friend tried talking her out of taking a self care long weekend off of work. Said she was “avoiding” her problems.

🔹Savvy thought the love interest was homeless because he was wearing dirty jeans and she had never seen him in the neighborhood before. And when he found this out he was ok with this? Ugh.

kimmypete1 🔹 It‘s only kind of body positive. Savvy‘s on a mission to get a revenge body and goes all out a uncomfortably fast. If you have body or eating issues this may be tough for you. (edited) 2y
kimmypete1 🔹Her mom is mad that she‘s giving money to her uncle to help fix up his house - that is very much in need of repair. (edited) 2y
LiteraryinLawrence Sounds…problematic. 2y
