ABOUT THE BOOK

USA Today bestselling author Danielle Allen balances the sweet and the spicy in this quick-witted, laugh-out-loud novel about putting yourself first--and how taking a chance on love can pay off.

Because life’s too short, and mean girls ain’t sh…

Jazmyn Payne fled her hometown—and the fatphobes who made her life hell– the minute she graduated high school. Growing up, her haven was her Aunt Addison, and when her health takes a drastic turn, she insists that Jazz should spice up her life. Emphasis on spice.

But dating is the last thing Jazz had on her mind.

Until Lamar Anderson sits next to her at the local sports bar. He is sexy, fun, and refreshingly drama free. With him she's able to pretend that everything is alright. But as real life intrudes, Jazz has to decide if she can leave the past where it belongs… for a love that she deserves.
