Sunny Side Up

DEBUT The debut romance from Sturino (Body Talk: How To Embrace Your Body and Start Living Your Best Life) is an engaging and tenderhearted story about Sunny Greene, owner of a public-relations firm. She is recently divorced and coming to terms with feelings that are wrapped up with the dissolution of her marriage. When she and her two best friends decide to take a winter “divorcation,” Sunny goes shopping for a swimsuit, a dreadful experience that leads to an anxiety attack in the fitting room. She decides to take matters into her own hands and creates a swimsuit to suit her body, turning this idea into a new business designing swimsuits for women of all sizes. Meanwhile, Sunny is trying out dating apps in a quest to find a date for her brother’s wedding and ends up in a love triangle with her hot postman and the financial backer of her swimwear line. All the while, Sunny chronicles her dating life on her Substack, with predictably disastrous results, but Sturino’s novel delivers a happily-ever-after.
