I'm going to cheat and leave a link to my website where I reviewed all 5 of the first books collectively. https://reading-writing-rebellion.com/review/the-curvy-girls-club/

I’ve been waiting for their story: I feel like I’ve been teased throughout each of the other books. I was rewarded for my patience: best book in the series. Always love a childhood best friend to lover trope, especially when both of them have fallen but neither actually realize. Now add in the “fake” dating. I also love the dual POV. Carson is so sweet! And Callie is so pure!

My heart broke for Carson his home life is really hard to take. I loved that he had Callie from a young age to lean on and her family.
This is probably my favorite trope friends to lovers, it isn’t always easy to confess ones feelings when your friends as both Carson and Callie are finding at different stages of life.
But once you get the courage to speak what is truly in your heart you might be surprised what comes out of it.
There are hiccups in every relationship and Carson has a big one he has to overcome. I like that his sisters were there for him.
Callie has a lot of growing to do and she does but she also has the biggest heart.
Enjoyable narration!

Hello!!! I am here to SCREAM at the top of my lungs that I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! This series is EVERYTHING. Okay here I go…trying to write a really good review. Kelsie Stelting…my girl…you are an artiste!!! These characters in this series…ugh…I just love them to pieces. Okay, so first of all, Callie and Carson have been besties from the start, and EVERYONE wanted them to be together. I was really excited to read their story because I just knew it would be a good one…and guess what? I was right. Carson is como se dice *chef’s kiss* He is the best boy ever honestly. I love his and Callie’s friendship-it’s kind of giving It Ends With Us vibes? Callie takes Carson in and her family becomes his family. I LOVED reading how their relationship began and grew from when they first met at 10 years old. At first I was like, “where is the good stuff?” But the good stuff came quickly enough. I could not stop reading this book…like I’m on a cruise right now and every spare moment I had today, I found myself reaching for this book. The story was captivating and easy. It had me screaming at the characters. I mean it was an emotional rollercoaster. Every few chapters I was just like, “AHHHHH!!!!” Callie and Carson are the typical “best friends that are in love with each other but not want to ruin their friendship” trope. It was TEXTBOOK. Everyone but them KNEW they were meant to be. What really had me was how they were both in love with each other at different points growing up, but they never had the balls to do anything about it. Love is worth waiting for I guess. I’m very excited to read the next book!!! Hope this review was good!!! Trying to do better and not just yell about how much I love the book!!!
