Sassy, plus-size model Rejina James has a problem with Adonis Jones, her photographer boyfriend. After several years of dating, Adonis has decided that before he can make a lifetime commitment, Rejina needs to lose some weight. Heart-broken, her self-esteem shattered, Rejina takes a long leave of absence from her job and with the help of her friends and a workout guru, she finally loses the weight, just like Adonis wanted. Now they can get married and live happily ever after, right?

Wrong…Adonis decides he liked Rejina better when she was heavy and had something for a man to hold on to. Enraged, Rejina goes on a rampage. Woe betides the man who has the nerve to even look at her.

This is a smart, contemporary tale of modern romance and the lengths to which we will go in pursuit of that perfect mate.
