The first time I’ve ever read a miscommunication trope that was ACTUALLY miscommunication. It was good!!! I didn’t hate it!!! I love the way Williams writes her female characters and her romances. They just feel so fucking authentic. This couples went back and forth a little too much for me before getting together but still think this earned its 4.25

I hate all the cussing, but I loved the premise. It made me cry twice. Nothing groundbreaking, but what I wanted at the time

This book was the perfect balance of fat affirming fitness and romance together. The slow burn nearly killed me but my God it was so worth it. Britta and Wes are so good together and the chemistry was off the chain! I will absolutely be recommending this to all of my friends.
