This book was everything I wanted to to be and more even more than I needed! I will forever read everything that Denise Williams writes (and especially listen if Teddy Hamilton narrates!) The fat representation was great and even the 'weight loss' app, which I was a bit worried about if I am honest, was more about loving your body as it is and being healthier than just the numbers on a scale.
The side characters were good. I did find Britta's friends to be a bit one note, there were too many of them and they weren't fleshed out enough, but I loved Cord and Pearl!
Favourite parts:
-Teddy Hamilton!!! I would listen to this man read an appliance manual, he is that good!
-The fat rep, as a curvy girl myself I love being about to relate to a character
-The author puts trigger warnings at the beginning of the book!!! All authors need to do this!
Thoughts:
-Love everything Denise Williams writes!
-Not a huge fan of the thrird act break up but it works
-MMC is an attentive listener but doesn't always stand up for FMC when it comes to her being fat shamed, especially by his ex-girlfriend
-New book about Cord and Pearl coming late 2023! I love her! She doesn't put up with bulls***
