＂You’re too fat... no Indian man will ever marry you!＂ Little Izzy is happily eating her potato chips when her mother utters the words that scar her for life. Izzy doesn’t get it. Her mom is
fat too, yet her skinny dad married her! How is her theory logical? Has mom lost her mind? In spite of Izzy’s optimism the damage has been done; the seeds of doubt are planted. Is Izzy
condemned to a lifetime without love just because she’s fat? Will men only care about the size of her body versus the goodness of her heart? It just can’t be true! Izzy silently vows, ＂I’ll
show you someday Mom!＂ Years later, fun-loving Izzy is off to college. Her over-protective family can no longer monitor her every move and Izzy discovers FREEDOM! This not-so-shy Indian girl is
ready to explore...and hopefully find a husband in the process! Izzy dives right into the on-line dating scene, driven by a need to prove her mom wrong. It doesn’t take long to discover that
mothers don’t always know best. Izzy meets men from all cultures who are into her. In spite of her concerns about her weight, guys like her plus-sized body, cheerful personality and outrageous
sense of humor. Look out world, Izzy Martini is on fire! Well...not quite. Due to her parent’s over-protectiveness, Izzy is clueless about sex, relationships and the games people play. Her
overly trusting nature and desperation to find a husband lead her to miss the red flags repeatedly. Izzy wants to meet her parents’ expectations and act like a good old-fashioned Indian girl
but there’s a sexy, wild side to the American Izzy that’s begging to be set free! She tries to merge the two worlds and finds herself on an endless series of bizarre and hilarious dates. Izzy
repeatedly wonders, ＂Why are all my dates so strange?＂ Do all guys like to have their balls squeezed extra hard? And where’s the fine line that separates a great storyteller from a pathological
liar? These are just some of the epic date failures Izzy experiences. Nice girl Izzy gives every guy who asks her out the benefit of the doubt, yet her generous act only seems to attract
losers, players, liars and jerks. Although she keeps a straight face through every wild date, Izzy is unknowingly accumulating the material for the book she’ll write one day. In the background
of Izzy’s life, her parents are in a state of despair. Their only daughter is almost 21 and she’s still unmarried. They must act fast; she’s nearly an old-maid by their standards! Izzy’s
desperate parents orchestrate crazy schemes in order to find her a husband. Due to her weight and outspokenness, her parents are convinced that the only way to get Izzy an Indian husband is to
arrange her marriage to a FOB. (A fresh off the boat, immigrant male, desperately seeking legal U.S. status.) The more Izzy’s parents push her to wed wealthy Indian strangers of their choice,
the more she’s determined to find a man who loves her just the way she is. Izzy goes on awkward double-dates with her parents and has a major blow-out with her dad after he attempts to put a
＂husband wanted＂ ad in the papers. Yet when she gets her own dates, the situations are even more confusing! What’s a girl to do when a dream date reveals his kinky fetish for boob-slapping? How
do you tell the sweetest guy ever that you can’t bring yourself to kiss him because he’s hairier than a gorilla? Should a girl accept a magical ride on an air balloon from a doctor who reveals
that he’s a self-prescribing drug-addict? And what’s with all the bad kissers... don’t guys know they should NEVER come at a girl tongue first? Izzy’s boundless energy and sense of humor keep
her afloat and her loyal girlfriends’ advice helps her avoid major disasters. Does Izzy find a husband? Is there a Mr. Right for a girl who keeps meeting Mr. Wrong? Join Izzy on her outrageous
dating adventures as she ultimately discovers herself through many hard-earned life lessons about self-worth, love and acceptance.
