Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.0
Spice level: medium
I really enjoyed this cute friends to lovers rom com. It wasn’t as lighthearted as some—it dealt with some really heavy mental health and life issues—but it was sweet and sincere. Plus, I thought the bingo aspect was really unique and fun and set it apart from some other romance novels. I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy fat-positive representation in your romance like I do!
In short, this is a great summer romance with a fat, Black leading lady, and it’s sweet as peach cobbler!
TW for anxiety, panic attacks, addiction, and childhood trauma
