Katie reveals how the book grew from her own post-divorce journey and her desire to portray a confident, bigger-bodied woman navigating dating, friendship, and self-reinvention, without conforming to “revenge body” tropes. She dives into the novel’s bold early scenes, the importance of supportive female friendships, and the real-life inspiration behind Sunny’s entrepreneurial storyline.
