Loved everything about it but the snippets of texts and fics before each chapter. As I listened to the audiobook, they were awkward and don't lend themselves well to that format.
The characters are incredible, with their flaws being front at center in a story that is ultimately the two of them healing from past trauma. I also lovedDade's emphasis on showing April's body in a positive and sexy light again and again throughout.

Graphic: Fatphobia and Sexual content
While April loves her body, she still has to take certain steps to fully control the narrative around her and that's where the fatphobia stems from.
