3.0

I think I am just growing out of YA Rom/Com Contemporary... I didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. It was MEH. This is a companion novel to When Dimple Met Rishi (which I enjoyed more). This follows Rishi's brother who just got out of a bad breakup and agrees to let his parents set him up. As the story goes both our main characters flirt and date and fall in love.

My big issue with this, other than just not being invested in the plot, is all the fat shaming that is done my Sweetie's mother and how there seems to be no negative impact on Sweetie and her life. It doesn't feel treated properly. As a teenager (and honestly as an adult) it's a hard thing for a person to just be told by someone you love that you're fat, you're never going to be happy or successful because you're fat, etc.. and they way Sweetie acts like its no big deal was so frustrating.
