Sunny Weston has finally made it.  She’s lost all those extra pounds, is toned from tons of exercise.  She has her own online business selling sex toys and her long time crush is finally her boyfriend, but wondering however if life truly is perfect. Happiness doesn’t seem to be calorie-free after all.  Sunny’s friends are jealous and she becomes a stranger in her own skin.  Life seems to be only counting calories and burning fat.  And life gets even more confusing when the witty, dapper Cagney comes on the scene.  They meet when rescuing a child from a child snatcher, and then again when the parents ask them to dinner to thank them.  Cagney’s gay friend believes that they are made for each other, but they spar whenever they are together and sparks fly.  The thing is, they enjoy it.   

It seems that there are an abundance of books out right now about weight and weight-loss.  In this story, British author Louise Kean shows the reader that maybe being slim isn’t what it is all about.  Written with quite a bit of dry humor, Ms Kean introduces her reader to a neurotic heroine and a jaded, but witty hero.  This story has a lot of introspection and the author takes the reader right into the heroine’s head.  She’s a heroine that we can all relate to, full of fears and phobias.  The sittings with her psychiatrist are enlightening and humorous.  The banter between Sunny and Cagney are laugh out loud moments.  This reviewer enjoyed this story, but would have loved to have seen a bit more action.  This is a story about accepting who you are and not accepting second best in your life.
