The first 50% of this book, I nearly DNF'd twice. The FMC 's issues with her body were a STRUGGLE to read, and not in a "wow, this is an emotional journey" way, but in a "woman, seriously, call a therapist because I cannot handle your self-deprecation and self-esteem issues" way. The MMC also felt more caricature than character. The second half of the book improved some (enough I was willing to finish reading), but yeah - no interest to pick this up again or read anything else in the series.

This was a good, pretty standard friends to lovers book but the end felt entirely too rushed like the author got tired of writing it

5.0

The perfect mix of cute and funny and sexy. I just loved the main characters right away and their dynamic was just so real and fun. Love me a curvy girl romance, just because I feel so much more connecte to characters like that! And I love me a big ole athlete boi! This was a true friends to lovers that I really enjoyed from beginning to end. The
third act breakup was one I actually enjoyed reading because it was so real and it wasn't just them giving in to each other after being apart for a few days.
It was just such a wonderful story that I devoured so quickly, I couldn't put it down!

The book starts off very slow. Don’t give up on it. Just be patient.

I got this one as part of the Stuff your kindle event and I have to say I’m sad I wasted my time on it. And I’m glad I didn’t pay anything for it. I thought the book has a interesting premise and it started out quite well, only to have an ending that undermines everything that it preaches in the beginning.
This was a fat phobic book pretending to be “evolved” and on board with all the body positivity movement only to end with a praise to breastfeeding for its dieting properties. Truly disappointing.
