I truly enjoy this book! It was an easy, lighthearted read.

The characters seemed pretty realistic (given the plot). At times the author could have taken the “fairytale ending” route and chose the more reasonable consequence which added to the realism.

I loved reading about a fat MC who didn’t hate her body. The positivity didn’t feel forced either.

The first chapter didn’t immediately suck me in, but by chapter two I was hooked. Despite the predictability of some of the story’s outcomes, my reading experience wasn’t negatively impacted.

At times, the characters’ problems felt a bit repetitive. Certain phrases or communication seemed overused.

However, this book featured some of my favorite romance tropes, including slow burn, only one bed, and fake dating.

Really enjoyed the audiobook (Teddy Hamilton)! Overall it was cute, I liked the plus size representation and body positivity, but I was left a bit bored. A lot of the dialogue was cheesy and it dragged at parts.

I enjoyed it well enough. Bumped up the score a tad for the good body positivity/HAES attitude throughout the book.

This book was cute and fun. Both characters have strong support systems outside of the relationship, the third act breakup was forgivable, and their chemistry was believable. Very happy and nice contemporary romance.
