Read this for free on Wattpad.

I can honestly say that this is one of my all-time favourite books. I love all the works of this author on Wattpad and this is one of her better ones.

It is an amazing story about acceptance and self-love. Anyone who's ever had body image issues will relate.

I struggled with what rating to give this book. There were glaring errors that I'm sure would have been caught by a good editor, but for the most part, I've learned to look over typos and such when reading stories on Wattpad. What was more difficult to bypass was the overt agenda that the author was pushing. While I don't have anything against a heroine who goes on a search for good health and self-acceptance, there were passages in this book that switched from storytelling to full-on teaching mode and it was off-putting.

Still, there were good things that kept me reading to the end. The relationship between our heroine and her personal assistant was warm and engaging. All of the dialogue was vibrant enough that I could hear the Australian accents in my head, and there were many passages that "hit me in the feels", as the kids say. I plan to try another book by this author to see if she has another book that captures all these fun elements without the preaching.
