Tw: Alcohol, fat phobia, verbal abuse 
Same Paige is incredible. It shot so fast to the number one romance I read this year with EASE! We have two characters that are practically the sweetest cinnamon rolls in the entire world, one with a couple barbs and the other with a dark and stormy past. Paige and Kesh will make your heart MELT! They are both thoughtful and kind but the author still gives them room to have flaws and make mistakes but they make it back to each other with HEALTHY communication ( omg who thought it was possible in the genre????) The characters are amazing but what made this book so important to me personally is the discussion of fat phobia, self deprecation and parental abuse. While the discussion of alcohol dependence was so important and well fleshed out, it was the way Paiges mother ridiculed and lashed out at her daughter that reminded me of my own relationship with my body and my mother. When Paige finally put her foot down reminded me so much how I also did the same thing in the last couple of years and it made my heart sing! This book also has hilarious banter between ALL the characters and the writing is incredible, I truly have no complaints. This book deserves so much more praise than its getting, it’s truly on par or better than so many traditionally published romances and I’m so great full it was written 💖🥰
