Faced with no job offers after she finishes her fashion design program (with an emphasis on SHOES! Yum!), Cindy leaves her beloved NYC and heads back to Hollywood to her blended family – stepmom, 2 lovely stepsisters, and three adorable half sibs. Erica (stepmom) is the head of a very successful reality dating series – Before Midnight, and needs the steps to come in as last minute replacements, and Cindy decides to also take the plunge, even though she is taking a big risk as a plus-sized woman in a size 2 world. When she meets the bachelor – who should he be but that swoon-worthy man she met on her flight to LA! Can they keep their chemistry on the down-low and navigate the pitfalls of reality tv?
Even though the characters are college graduates, the story is totally appropriate for especially high school. Murphy weaves another charming story of living with a real-sized body and being your best possible person even with all the snark that surrounds you. And of course there is a great romance mixed in.
Cindy, Library Teacher, MLS
