This book would have been 5 stars if they didn't end up together...I said what I said.


A second chance, academia romance between two grad students. I loved this! I saw a lot of people saying that the main character, Allison, is not likeable and to that I say...WHAT!?! She is SO relatable and fantastic plus size rep. She doesn't make the best choices but that's what makes her so great. She's in her early 20's, no one has their shit together then. 

Low-key, I think she's too good for Colin though. One grand gesture doesn't make up for everything he did and she deserves better.
