This is at times a fun cheesy romance (and I had fun overall), but it had some issues to me that were never fully addressed. Being single means Catalina is "broken" is repeated throughout the book and it is resolved by
Catalina being happy now that she has a boyfriend.
To me, this is extremely damaging and not healthy, but perhaps I'm reading too much into a cheesy romance that isn't trying to make any grand points about society and relationships. Also didn't like how disordered eating was handled personally.
