I’m all for mental health discussions/struggles in books but the author’s word choices surrounding her body issues made me v uncomfortable; I also feel like their backstories came out in big trauma dumps rather than naturally revealing.
The beginning called this book cozy and I definitely do not agree with that. I was stressing from beginning to end.

This is all sort of just thinly veiled allegory for the current american political climate…
I wasn’t gonna read the second one and I haven’t decided if I am, but the (very predictable) ending stressed me out so fuckin much I might need to

This book gave me all the feels

I Loved this book so much! The author did an excellent job taking care to capturing some real life struggles that plus size people experience without the book feeling like it was outright fat shaming.it was handled with such care while also giving a voice to our FMC's past trauma and experiences.

This story of healing and giving love a second change is an absolute heart tugger and IM SO EXCITED FOR BOOK TWO!
You can not help but fall in love with all of Pack Ashwood because they just have so much love to give to Josie and she deserves every drop of it. 
The driving scene is so funny! 
I can’t wait for more
