The miscommunication stretched out longer than I’d like, but I appreciated the loveable characters and body diversity.

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

I loved this book so much! This book radiated comfort vibes. It's a romcom that also tackles very serious topics. I think it was balanced out well. I loved Wes and Britta so much. Their dynamic is so cute. The banter between the two of them was so nice. The slow burn between them was everything. It's a friends to lovers/forced proximity/workplace romance. I didn't even realize this book was friends to lovers until I was almost done lol. It wasn't boring at all. The overall plot of the story was really good too. I loved seeing other characters from previous books. I also loved how every single character's role had significance. In my opinion there weren't really any "side characters" because each character added and contributed to the plot. The literal only complaint I have is that I own the physical book and the font size was a bit too small lol. Overall I loved this book so much. This is can definitely fall into the category of comfort books. I don't know how to describe it but it felt like a comfort read. I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the main message behind this book, where a woman is on a fitness journey and not one solely aimed at weight loss. I think that was done really well and the struggles with following an exercise program were spot on.

However, I didn’t enjoy the other aspect of this book which was the romance. Personally I didn’t really believe the two main characters falling for each other, and their relationship seemed a bit superficial and not based on a whole lot of depth. Spice was alright, but nothing mind blowing.

I can also accept that as someone who is petite this book just wasn’t written for me and that’s ok. I do understand why a lot of people seem to like it but the romance just didn’t do it for me *shrug*

3/5 🌶️

Okay I read this with high expectations and was slightly disappointed 😞 I really liked it up until this "fight" between the two mc's bc Wes made a shitty decision that was addressed but not met with any reparations. I do see how it happens but I don't like how it went and how Wes turned out to be. I still love him though. Not enough smut for my taste. Also felt kinda slow.

I liked this book a lot I just got really bored of how much page time was dedicated to talking about the benefits of exercise. Like yeah totally it's super important but my god I'm reading a romance not a self help book I couldn't give less of a shit how good running feels.

Anyways the characters were fun, the romance was sweet, the friendships that unexpectedly developed were adorable, the fat representation and discussion around healthy exercise that doesn't focus on weight loss and diet was super cool.

Overall decent.
