This book was so cute and fun...for the first 90% of the book. I thought for sure it was going to be a 5 star read. And then the last 10% happened.
Things I loved in this book include the communication. Also both of the main characters are plus sized! love that. The TV show and world in which this story takes place seems so fun and well developed. I wish I could watch the show theyre on in real life. I appreciate Peter's introspection. He felt like a real character to me and someone I'd like to know and be friends with.
I feel there is a fundamental difference in the core values of each of these characters and that needed some time to be fully explored and dealt with before the two characters came together in my opinion.
In some ways it felt like putting together ill fitting puzzle pieces at the end. Just forcing them to work. Of course there is love between the two main characters as well as much chemistry and sexual attraction. If they both had gone away and therapized their core value in contrast to the other it might have worked better.
In some places it felt like the MC does this, but it also feels like he ends up sacrificing his wants for her. It felt like her concession was smaller and maybe less detailed.
