There's no hidden meaning or, or metaphor, this is straight up a girl dating a bear.

And somehow it works?

This girl has been through the ringer. Boyfriend after boyfriend, all disappointing. Some too needed, some whining, some asshole, some even spit on her vagina (her words not mine) and it's just all no-no. She's about to give it all up when she meets bear!

Now bear at first scares her off because he's a big black fucking bear, and it would scare anyone off. But he tracks her down and one night when she's drunk she lets him in and they cuddle and then begin to date. The story basically balances comedy and romance with one of the most outrageous yet charming plots I've seen.

It helps the main character is super relatable and funny. It also helps she has a job in a call center, which I can relate too 100%. Makes for some laugh out loud moments. On top of that the chemistry between Bear and her, despite him never speaking, is cute and funny. Her friends also add some great levity moments.

The romance can only go one way. I really enjoyed most of it, and even though the ending is a little too typical, it still works. Not a mind blowing book or anything but super cute and charming. A 4 out of 5.
