While renovating her house and her life, Savvy Sheldon finds things going not as planned and soon realizes that she should have started her renovation the other way around, beginning with how she sees and loves herself before she can love someone else. Savvy Sheldon knows it's time for some renovations: her high-stress low-thanks job, her clueless boyfriend, and the falling-apart kitchen she inherited from her grandma. Starting from the outside in she tackles the kitchen, her relationship with her body, her work-life balance (or lack thereof) and, last but not least, her love life. It turns out that the contractor she hires is the same sexy stranger she unintentionally offended by judging based on appearances. And Savvy can't seem to go anywhere without tripping over her ex and his latest "upgrade." Maybe she should have started her renovations with how she sees herself before trying to build a love that lasts. -- adapted from back cover
