If The Dress Fits
If The Dress Fits | Carla de Guzman
17 posts | 9 read | 15 to read
Martha Aguas kind of has it all--she's an accountant who loves numbers, an accident-prone puppy that loves her, and the perfect wardrobe.
Yes, she wears a dress size 24, her bras don't fit and she's never had a boyfriend, but so what?
It becomes a big deal when her perfect cousin Regina announces her engagement to Enzo, the only boy she's ever loved (he doesn't know, so don't tell him!) Suddenly Aguases from all corners of the globe are coming for the event, and the last thing Martha wants is to be asked why she still prefers her lattes with a waffle on the side.
Thank god for Max. Goofy, funny, dependable Max, who finds himself playing the fake boyfriend at the family festivities. But why does it feel like only one of them is pretending?

A sweet, zany and slightly melodramatic #romantsy set in the Philippines written by a local author. The heroine, Martha is a body positive plus sized woman. She accidentally tells her family that her friend Max is her boyfriend, when she realized her cousin is getting married to Martha‘s first love.

mabell Sounds really cute! 6y

#MarchBookstagram2018: Autobuy Author.
Carla De Guzman.
My love for Carla‘s books just came naturally to me. I didn‘t even know I had ALL of her books already until this challenge prompt came up. Her characters are deep and nuanced and the conflicts she puts these characters through are sometimes hilarious, sometimes difficult, but always well-thought. 100% HEAs, too! ❤️❤️❤️ #romantsy

Another shot from today's cafe hopping. More pics of this cafe on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BVy2actl9G9/ It was so hard to choose just ONE cake to go with my coffee. Also, it's a public holiday in Singapore so I count this as an extended #LitsyPartyofOne. @Ambrosnazzy

How adorable is this book? It was about an overweight girl who loved herself! 🙌🏻 There is a best friend love interest who is a vet, loves dogs, and reads books! The happy ending was for me. At some points it became all about the weight but overall the cuteness does a good job of covering it up. It also shows sometimes how overweight people tend to be treated. It's so nice to read a book about someone who looks like me!

Chachic Trying a sample of this and glad to hear you enjoyed it! 7y

"Will it guys? Will it really?"

I feel Martha on this, it's a question I ask anytime anybody says something will be fun because...will it really???

Remember the distress I felt last week because the romance with the fat heroine and the fake relationship panned out? THIS WAS THE ANSWER.

Saw these new romance books by Filipino authors in National Bookstore Mall of Asia today! Been looking for them for days and they're prettier in person 💞 Had to buy in batches because my wallet resisted. None of them are in Litsy yet, so tagging it under If the Dress Fits by Carla de Guzman, where Ava from Midnights in Bali had a cameo. #SparkNA #BuqoYA #romanceclass #romantsy

Chachic They look so pretty! I'm going to wait for the ebook editions though. 8y

I love everything about Carla de Guzman's IF THE DRESS FITS, but I think I love this dedication the best. Such a strong start to a wonderful and heartwarming book, about loving your best friend, your crazy family, and ultimately, yourself. 👗 #romanceclass #romantsy
