I love that Skye is this 25-year-old biracial, plus sized woman who doesn’t have life figured out but she’s super body positive. I appreciate that despite her body positivity she still has some insecurities about herself. However, that’s where it stops for me. The book is all over the place with dialogue and pacing. I initially liked the internal monologue of Skye and Forest about their attraction for one another, but the way that the men in the books talk about Skye is disgusting. It’s also gross how Forest and his brother Holden seem to talk about sex with each other and about their sister. Then the way Forest talks to Skye in front of family about sex. It’s just super uncomfortable and awkward. It’s also disturbing that 21 year old Holden is “friends” with 17 year old Daisy. It’s clear considering the second book is about the two of them that he’s pursuing Daisy and waiting for her to become “legal”. It’s just gross and definitely put me off. I hated Mack and her entire character but appreciated Forest FINALLY standing up for Skye though it took him long enough. The spice is fine but again the way it’s written it’s confusing to know what’s going on and how everything is working. The personalities of Skye and Forest are extremely flat; we get it, Skye loves matcha lattes and Forest is obsessed with her breasts. It’s fine for mindless reading but I really had to push through this book and not DNF. It’s so poorly written I honestly thought I was just too stupid to follow, but considering I read books with more substance, I know it’s just bad writing. My rating is literally based on my liking Skye’s surface level representation and Forest finding her sexy without having a fetish for big women.
