Savvy Sheldon Feels Good as Hell

Taj McCoy. Mira, $15.99 trade paper (336p) ISBN 978-0-7783-1184-3

McCoy’s swoon-worthy debut centers on finding love from the inside out. Savannah “Savvy” Sheldon believes she has the makings of a perfect life with her long-term boyfriend, Jason—until he suddenly dumps her because he wants an “upgrade.” Incensed by his negative comments on her lifestyle and her body, Savvy decides to “reclaim her sexy” and show him what he’s missing. As part of this life makeover, she decides to redesign her kitchen. She’s not expecting the intense attraction she feels to her detailed and attentive contractor, Spencer Morgan. As she renovates both the kitchen and her life, things start looking up for her health, her job, and her budding romance with Spencer—though untimely and unsavory run-ins with Jason threaten to derail her. McCoy populates Savvy’s world with a diverse cast of immediately endearing friends and family, especially besties Joan and Maggie, who reinforce positivity and love for Savvy and help her prioritize the things that make her happy. With a focus on heartbreak and reflection, Savvy’s story has every flavor of love. McCoy is sure to win fans. [em]Agent: Veronica Park, Fuse Literary. (Mar.) [/em]
