“Curves for Days” is a plus size romance novel that is so much more than a simple love story. Everyone has baggage; secrets, a past, things that haunt them and our main characters Rose and Angus are no different. But will the complexities of their secrets, past and insecurities be too much to keep them together? 

I absolutely loved this book so much. I am thankful for the ARC from NetGalley and I even bought my own physical copy. I smiled so much throughout this book, laughed and cried. As a plus size woman it was amazing to read a romance novel where a character like me could be loved, just as she is. 
The content warnings are on the authors website but she covers so many tough but much needed to be addressed topics elegantly and they are ones that many can relate to. Such an empowering and awareness bringing book, wrapped up in a curvy romance novel. Highly recommend!
