First, the pros. I love body diversity, particularly in romance. For better or worse, our bodies tend to be the first thing someone notices, so it rang true to have a FMC voice the desire to have any blind dates know that she was plus-sized to avoid the (unwarranted) disappointment. I loved that Haleigh was not the only plus-size character, as I read Jack's description as being a plus-size man, not to mention Haleigh's ability to swap clothes with her sister.

I also adored the cast of characters, from Haleigh's roommates to the aforementioned sister, to her various dates. All of them had some defining characteristics that made them unique and fit the story. 

As for the cons, they start and stop with the two competing love interests. It seemed reasonably clear which one of them was the end game, but I expected a longer competition, so to speak.

I really thought Haleigh's relationship with Brian ended too abruptly. They go from being compatible and having great conversations to him suddenly not liking to read or do anything fun? It just didn't ring true to me based on his previous character development.

Ultimately, I'm really torn on the final resolution.

Haleigh's relationship with Jack was borderline toxic. Although he was working on how he treats her during stressful situations, everything about his role in the dating scheme was manipulative - setting her up with someone he knew she'd hate, not listening to her when she said she didn't need him, only showing interest when someone else was involved. I had a hard time buying that this was her HEA.

Overall, I still enjoyed the book, and I really liked a lot of the characters. I just felt let down by the ending.
