I would give it more stars if I could! I LOVED THIS BOOK!! Britta Colby may be my favourite heroine EVER. I have loved lots of heroines but with Britta I felt seen. This book was very emotional for me and I adored EVERYTHING about it. I loved Wes and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED everything about the ending!! Definitely one of my favourite books EVER.

I found that there was some inconsistency in the representation of a fat person pursuing fitness. I loved the message, but it could have been delivered slightly better. I also felt a little iffy about the power dynamic between the couple.

I don’t know where to begin with this review. If I could give it 10 stars I would. I started this with no expectations and fell in love. Once I got about 5% into the book I couldn’t put it down. I read about 90% of it in one day. This book brought me so much joy.

To see a fat woman get to fall in love in many different ways was a special kind of love story for me. As someone who has struggled with body image my whole life, reading this made me feel validated and beautiful and capable. This is a book I wish I could read for the first time again and again. I cannot recommend this book enough! Absolutely loved it.
