Fat Chance: A Curvy Girl Romance by C.L. Cruz

3.0

Quick, easy read. Safe. No OW/OM drama, No Cheating.

C.L. Cruz is a great author for when you want to read something in a short amount of time. I find that her stories are fairly fleshed out for not being full length.

This one was okay. I might have rated it higher, but I really didn't like the heroine, Berkley. She was fine one minute and then BAM something happens and she took a turn. There's a fine line between strong heroine and just downright mean. I do like that she apologized, though. I thought our H, Gannon was way too easy on her. She was horrible to him and he was working on himself to win her back? Just no. He should have been done with her.

I also didn't like that Berkley absolutely screwed up at work, yet the narrative becomes that she needed to set better boundaries. I don't think her boss was asking too much of her to return a phone call. Like, literally, that was the issue. She really should have been reprimanded or fired. Not promoted.

I just felt like we were supposed to sympathize with Berkley and I just didn't.

The writing is good. The characters have personalities (good or bad). I'm going with three stars because as much as Berkley annoyed me, everything else was okay.
