After having just graduated with a degree in shoe design, and trying to get her feet on the ground, Cindy is working for her stepmother, who happens to be the executive producer of America's favorite reality show, Before Midnight. When a spot on the show needs filling ASAP, Cindy volunteers, hoping it might help jump-start her fashion career, or at least give her something to do while her peers land jobs in the world of high fashion.
Turns out being the only plus size woman on a reality dating competition makes a splash, and soon Cindy becomes a body positivity icon for women everywhere. What she doesn't expect? That she may just find inspiration-and love-in the process. Ultimately, Cindy learns that if the shoe doesn't fit, maybe it's time to design your own.

“Choose what makes you happy. Things, places, people. Only choose the ones that bring that delight to you. Don't be a hostage to duty or obligation. I didn't carry you and birth you and raise you to waste your precious life on anything except unbridled joy. Choose joy.”

A fun tale of accepting who you are, finding one's passion and possibly love in a Cinderella styled, Bachelor-esque corner of the modern day. Julie does a fantastic job of bringing us on a journey with Cindy as she searches for her niche in life. Body positivity, and going for what you want are strong themes, entwined with a whimsical love story, that has us rooting for Cindy.
