This was a cute premise but fell flat for me. I understand why Quinn had his issues and I’m glad he worked through them in a healthy way, we just didn’t get to see that on the page so I wasn’t very invested in their relationship. To me, he was still this turd playing hot and cold with Minnie. He should’ve been the one racing through London, experiencing some of her bad luck in order to profess his love. 

All that said, my biggest issue with the book was that it desperately needed a sensitivity reader. There was so much fatphobia for a book that’s only a couple years old. It was really disappointing.
