My heart is fluttering. This was such a beautiful book 🥹
This managed to explore deep issues such as fatphobia, self doubt, dealing with body image, jealousy, friendship, and mother-daughter dynamics but was still a lovely, feel good read.
I love how the author subtlety but unequivocally included queer characters through the book.
I also love that we also get to see into the supporting characters lives and struggles too.
The romance was cute and fluffy. The friendship between Charlie and Amelia, even better.
Of course I loved that the main character is a writer and I enjoyed seeing her on her writing journey.
The character growth was 👌🏾
Great book. Totally recommend; it got me out of a slump.
