I liked the setting in London, but just couldn't relate to the main character which made it all a bit of a shame.

This was one of my 12 books in 2024 but I didn’t enjoy it. I wish I DNFed it to be honest but because it was an audiobook I kept going. I felt like not much happened other than the main character going on bad dates and falling for someone after 1 day. It wasn’t for me sadly!

Finallyyyyyyyyyyyy a book where a plus size woman is the lead, and she's not a joke and she's not on a diet, she's just figuring things out!
As a fat, single lady myself this speaks to me on a deep level, and really is just the tonic I need with all my own apprehensions about dating. Serena is a really interesting but very relatable character and it was a pleasure to be on her journey.
Bethany's other YA books are the books I wished I'd had when I was younger. Welcome to Your Life is the book I'm glad to have now I'm here.
