If the Shoe Fits

Julie Murphy

Book 1 of Meant to Be

A modern, body-positive reimagining of Cinderella in which recent shoe-design graduate Cindy Woods moves back in with her stepmother, the executive producer of a Bachelor-style dating show, and ends up cast as a contestant herself. As the only plus-size woman in the house, Cindy becomes an unexpected body-positivity icon while navigating the show's manufactured drama, a budding rivalry with a fellow contestant, and a secret connection to the eligible bachelor she met before filming began. It's a light, witty romantic comedy about self-acceptance, designing your own happy ending, and figuring out who you can trust when cameras are always rolling.
