Thank you so much to Jenny L Howe, St Martin Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book! 

I am so excited that more and more books with a female plus size MC is starting to be published. I am glad that I was able to get an advance copy of this. 

Allison Avery is achieving her goals and got into the PhD program that she worked her whole life to get to. Everything was going well in her life until she sees her ex Colin Benjamin on campus.  Upon seeing him, Allison immediately gets flashbacks of their past together and of course the ending of their relationship. They learn they would be working together as teaching assistant's to a professor, it forces them to have to put differences aside to teach a class on Medieval Literature.  Let the fun begin!

"You' don't like happy endings?" 
"I think the problem is more that I like them too much. No one gets that in real life. People deserve happy endings and not enough get them."

Allison and Colin. Colin was put through the ringer by Allison. I understand her reservation for not wanting to trust Colin but she could not get out of her own way to have a genuine relationship until the end.  The character Allison was someone who I had a lot of issues with. I wanted to like her but it was just so hard. When she shined, she really did but the competitiveness was TOO much. I was feeling bad for Colin because she would just not let up. He was pushing back at her games.  Don't get me wrong Colin was not perfect. Things would happen and instead of discussing before hand, kind of figuring to ask for forgiveness in the aftermath. 

But with that being said, I really do love Colin and Allison together. There were so many swooon worthy moments and it made me really happy that Allison reconciled with Colin.  I love the car ride and having the history he knew the complex relationship she had with her parents. There was a moment at the end when we found out he was at a certain place and it just made my heart melt. They brought out the best in each other and also the worse in each other. I really love how Allison tried her best to be there for Colin when he was going through family issues. I also loved that Colin loves Allison for all that she is - the good and the bad. Her size was never an issue between them. He loved her body as it was. And Allison loved her body for all that is was too. 

I do wish we got an epilogue to follow up on the beautiful couple. Bonus content please?? : wink wink :

I was really proud of Allison for sticking up for herself and giving herself a boundary with her parents. I was upset at her mom for not respecting Allison's boundary back. The relationship with her dad was complicated as she was always showing up for him but he would not give her the respect she deserve.  

I cannot wait to see what other characters Jenny has in store for us in the future!
