I couldn’t put this book down. The plus size rep in this book was in some ways a balm and in other ways unnerving seeing personal experiences as part of a fictional story. But I think what I loved about this romance the most was that both parties had insecurities to work through, and both had to put in work to understand the other. I wasn’t just cheering for the lead girl because she was fat but I was cheering for both of them because they were so lovely and I wanted both of their happiness.

Also this is my second time reading a book that centers around fandom culture online and in person and it’s THE BEST. They’re so fun and I really can’t wait to read Dade’s next book.
