This book was cute and charming and a fun, quick read. The depictions of the many different types of relationships were lovely and a happy ending to tie it all up was nice. Some of it was a little repetitive -phrases and points hammered on multiple times but overall, it hit the notes it was going for pleasantly. The timeline of literally all of it seemed kind of bananas but the characters themselves were compelling enough to move past it.

Loved it! 've followed Katie for a year or so I've come to really appreciate her commentary body acceptance, culture and societal norms. She's frank and funny and I was delighted to see that all turn up on the page as well.

As someone who has lived a lot of Sunny's size struggles when shopping and existing in our society, it was comforting to not only see the actions on the page, but also the intense feelings that come when personally navigating these challenges. It can be really hard and our experiences are not often considered or valued. Thank you Katie for doing your part to help change that and showcase someone who can be more than her body and relegated to the quirky friend role. We're more than just the number on the scale.

Once I dove into the story, it really captured my attention and made me laugh along the way. I don't always like when authors add articles or other media to the story for you to read, but the newsletters Katie included in the book are the exception to me. They were so dead on and exactly what I get in my inbox. I wanted to be part of the First Wives Club and supportive friendships they built. As with any romance, you know there will be a happily ever after to look forward to and I liked how Katie pulled it together. I'd also be perfectly happy to get a spin-off book from Avery.

Thanks Netgalley and Celadon Books for the advance copy.

I loved this book so much and will be telling everyone about it! The perfect beach read - it’s an empowering story about staying true to yourself, body positivity, the power of our friendships - love love LOVED IT!

I devoured this book in under three days. This book is so much more than a romance.
It will be a perfect summer read. I am waiting for the day I see someone reading it at the airport.

I even shed a few tears as the last chapter wrapped up. This rare feat only happens when I truly love or connect with the characters.

It sends off so many strong messages which pack a heartfelt punch in a lighthearted and comedic way, which only a truly talented writer can pull off. Katie, if you are reading this, please keep the books rolling. Potential readers, please pick this up. It’s well written and paced, and the characters are easy to love.

Thank you to Net Galley for an ARC, I will be ordering this to gift to many of my friends all summer long.

I loved this book and found it very relatable! I think many readers will be able to relate to the themes of social media, self-esteem issues, divorce,& moving forward with life . The story had me laughing, and swooning throughout! The storyline was easy to follow along with and well-paced!

Katie Sturino has created the balm to my post-holiday angst. The main character, Sunny, echoes every sentiment that I, and many other women, lament. This book gives life to those feelings of fear, and insecurity that bounce around our heads whenever we gaze in a mirror or scroll through social media. I love the message within these pages - this is a must-read for those looking for the perfect Up-Lit pick.

Stayed up until 3am to finish this one! I love Sunny’s disposition and strength. What a great storyline of starting over post divorce and making a name for herself in the fashion industry.
A valuable lesson in life is shown in this book and proves true over and over again.
Never go backwards in life. Especially with an ex- in any capacity. Do not set yourself up for additional pain.
Phenomenal writing by Katie! I definitely felt an early Jennifer Weiner vibe.
Thank you for the ARC, it is very much appreciated!

A cute/light Rom Com and I absolutely love the character of Sunny. This was a quick no-brainer read and I loved it!

ANAZING. I read this in less than 24 hours. It had such heart while making me laugh out loud several times.

I struggled rooting for Sunny as a character because it feels like everything goes right for her. There is hardly any true conflict in this book. I recognize we meet her after her “rock bottom,” but she has great friends (that she met as an adult, a rarity) she doesn’t fight with, hot guys she sleeps with, and is able to start a new business and get it successfully off the ground in what ~5 months? Production, research, selling in high end department stores. This felt like a fairytale. Especially given how utterly naive Sunny comes across - I get it was supposed to be a take on Carrie Bradshaw but she’s flying a bit too close to the sun and it was no surprise she got caught. It was a fun light read overall, but I wish it had been a bit depthier so I really felt like I wanted to root for Sunny’s success.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Yes! I knew I liked Katie's writing. How exceptional that she has a novel to showcase her talents. I really loved this story and found it to be laugh out loud, funny, heartbreaking, and hopeful all throughout. I could identify with a lot of the feelings Katie writes about. Her exploration of self-discovery is a five star book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Amusing and relatable story of body image and the pressures of society to conform to unrealistic goals and feel less than if you don't. Yes, we rise above! With numerous small battles along the way.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this advance readers copy in exchange for my honest feedback. Great book to throw in your beach bag and read this summer on the beach with some snacks and cold drinks!!

Sunny Side Up by Katie Sturino was the latest in a string of amazing romance books that I’ve read. I loved it!

I could not put this book down and I devoured it in a day!

Mr Postman 📫 vs the Silverfox 🦊…this was just so fun!!!

Sunny, 35, extremely successful, recently divorced and overweight is living her dream life in NYC. She experiences the ups and downs of dating while trying to accept and love herself for who she is.
“My body was never the problem” ♥️

Overall this was such an empowering beautiful story and I loved it!!
Thank you NetGalley and Celadon Books for an ARC of this story!!

I absolutely loved reading this book, did not want to put it down the whole time. I rooted for Dennis in this book!! I loved the real truth about how women or people feel in the dressing room when trying on clothes and they are too small and can't find the right size!! The fact that Sunny was so comfortable in her skin, and yes she wanted to lose a few pounds but she lived her life passionately and cared so much about making other people feel comfortable in their skin. Sunny is a real inspiration to us all!!
