I love a plus-size main character. I don’t understand why they always have to be plus-size fashion bloggers. Centrally speaking, the book is about Daphne Berg, who reunites with an old friend who’d humiliated her years ago. That friend, Drue, asks her to be in her ritzy wedding. A plus-size fashion designer offers to give Daphne clothes to wear in exchange for social media posts (so there’s an influencer piece). But then something terrible happens, and Daphne suddenly turns into a detective. And I think it all happens in one day? 🤷🏻‍♀️

The first half was a 4-star. The second half was a 2.5. Not my favorite from this Philly-based author. There were a lot of editing errors. Not like typos, but like, in one paragraph she describes the desk being under a window. Two paragraphs later she says it’s under a world map. Or when Drue tells Daphne that her parents are getting divorced and she just found out a few days ago, a few hours later Daphne says she doesn’t know when Drue found out and it might have been that night. Just little inconsistencies like that that bugged me. There’s also a character in hiding who suddenly isn’t anymore and it’s never explained why. And the end made very little sense to me. It was a stretch.

Not an awful read. I enjoyed it. I just didn’t love it. But it was a good book to read when my brain needed a break.
