The DM Diaries by Teagan Hunter
4.0

The DM Diaries by Teagan Hunter is a fun, give you all the feels rom com with funny banter between the main characters. In this book we meet Olive and Jude. Olive is a plus size model/influencer and Jude is an actor who comes form Hollywood royalty. I liked the banter between the two and I liked the plot of the story. Olivia decides to keep a digital journal in the form of DMs to A-list actor Jasper Rafferty. Only his brother Jude Rafferty happens to read them and respond as Jasper. If this plot doesn't sound like a rom-com waiting to happen, I don't know what does. 

 I liked their connection between the main characters. Both of these characters want to be seen for who they really are and not the facade social media or the press portrays them as. Jude wants a real connection and not something fake or being wanted for your fame or money. Listening and responding to Olivia gave him the realness he was craving from someone. I love how Jude shows how much he cares for Olivia through his actions and not just his words. I like a strong FMC and Olivia was just that. She was a plus sized model who was killing it in the model and fashion world. Her weight was not a plot line and it was clear she was happy in her skin and was confident. Jude only enhanced her confidence and made her feel even more beautiful.
