Sugar Plum by Isabella Starling, Jenika Snow
3.0

content warnings: grief, loss of a parent, breast cancer mention, age difference
representation: fat main character


“The illusion was broken. I was no longer his best friend’s daughter. I was a woman, pure and simple. I was a woman he wanted so badly he didn’t care what lines got blurred.”



The perfect example of something that is just pure fun, Sugar Plum is about a college student who's in love with her dad's best friend who, unbeknownst to her, has been in love with her since she was eighteen.

As far as erotica goes, this is pretty down the middle. Some of the sexy scenes are great (the first one in particular), some are pretty lackluster. The plot is obviously not too important but up until the end it's perfectly serviceable. At the end it gets extremely cliché in a way I didn't enjoy because this is a novella so I'm nowhere near attached enough to the characters to excuse the sappiness.

It's on Kindle Unlimited so if you already have it and want to see a fat girl getting the sexy times she deserves, check it out!
