A fierce and body-positive celebration of friendship, first crushes and loving yourself.
Emily knows she's smart. Emily knows she's funny. Emily knows she's awesome. Emily knows she's fat.
She doesn't need anyone to tell her any of these things - she likes herself and she likes her body. She just thinks it's time everyone else caught up.
With a newly-slim bestie, a mum knee-deep in fad diets and increasing pressure to change, Emily faces a constant battle to be her true self. But when she meets gorgeous Joe, things start to change. Somehow, she's going to have to convince everyone, including herself, that it's no big deal.
“No Big Deal is an iconic love song to everyone out there who knows that life isn't one size fits all.” –Julie Murphy, bestselling author of Dumplin'
Lily Rose is used to people paying attention to her gorgeous twin sister, Daisy. But even though Lily loves her own fat body, she can't shake the idea that no one would ever choose her over Daisy – not when they could have the thin twin.
That is, until she meets Cal, the gorgeous, sweet guy from New Zealand who can't seem to stay away. The gorgeous, sweet guy who also happens to be Daisy's summer crush.
Lily can't seem to figure out why she isn't as into him as she should be. She should be head-over-heels in love, not missing time at the ice-cream shack with her life-long best friend, Cassie. Not wondering what Cassie is getting up to with Cal's friend Jack, or what she's thinking about when they're alone . . .
With University threatening to tear Cassie and Lily apart at the end of summer and Lily desperately trying to keep Cal a secret from Daisy, summer is set to be far from relaxing.
Heart-warming, hilarious and unputdownable. You won't want to miss this year's stand out romantic comedy.

This is a love story...
Serena Mills should be at her wedding. But she's not.
Instead, she's eating an ice cream sundae and drinking an obscenely large glass of wine in a Harvester off the M25.
Everyone thinks she's gone mad.
She's left the man everyone told her she was 'so lucky' to find - because Serena wants to find love. Real love. A love she deserves - not one she should just feel grateful for.
So, she escapes to the big city and sets herself a challenge: 52 weeks. 52 dates. 52 chances to find love. It should be easy, right?
A story about love, forging your own path, and falling head over heels - with yourself.
