Weight Expectations by M.E. Carter
3.0
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Social Butterfly PR.
There was humor. There was heart. Unfortunately, I just didn't feel the romance going on between the main characters. I liked Rian, and I appreciated the manner in which the author chose to tackle her weight issues, something I'm very much familiar with. More often than not, the whole weight thing is clouded over with heavy doses of humor, but while M.E. Carter does include humor in this story, it's not the kind that had me laughing at Rian, instead it was about me laughing with her. She was bright and confident and was certainly inspiring at times.
The thing is, I was never a fan of Carlos's. He was full of himself and thought he was God's gift to women. Yes, he had his own share of insecurities that were revealed later in the story, but he just didn't click with me, and I didn't get what Rian saw in him other than his looks, so the connection was never made on my end. I actually thought she'd be paired with Abel, her trainer, who seemed far more deserving of someone like her and who was a great guy who was supportive of her weight loss journey. But all Rian gets is Carlos. Weight Expectations gets three stars. ♥
