An easy read to get through, with a nice romance but also touching on important topics such as fatphobia and abortion without ever getting too dark.

Messages were too overt and basic. Characters not totally likeable.

3.75

3.75 - Had I not found this book, abandoned in an airport in need of a home, I probably would not have read it. I liked it but phew it was a lot. In good ways and in bad ways. Would I read another book by this author? Probably if it piqued my interest. Mildly similar to Katherine Center. Interesting (although too numerous) characters with decently satisfying ended. Definitely check the trigger warnings.

This book was brave and took on a lot of hard topics. I wish the storyline went deeper - it seemed to have more breadth since there were so many topics going on. I enjoyed the feminist perspective- so refreshing.
