My biggest complaint is the constant descriptions of Lauren’s body type and facial features. There is a 0% chance that anyone will forget that she’s not conventionally attractive because the reminders sound every few pages like a pesky alarm clock.
Moderate: Sexual content, Body shaming, Bullying, and Fatphobia
Minor: Sexual assault and Physical abuse

Didn't really enjoy that the she was described as soft and pillow-y by the love intrest 1000 times and that that's attractive... In the sense that a fat person's body is hot because it gives somebody the feeling of comfort and softness... I don't know if I can explain it well... I just noticed it after the fifth time and then it kinda bothered me.
I really liked the discussions about fatphobia, fame, domesitic abuse, therapy, ADHD, decision making, consent, sacrifices, fanfiction, insecurities, protectiveness, fame, morals, family, avocating for yourself...
I also liked, that the characters grew into their power and worked on their self worth.
Didn't like:
- I thought it was weird that he was almost in his 40s. based on how he acted and talked, but maybe they thought since he has ADHD he would think, act, talk less ?mature? I guess. Unfortunately his humor wasn't "my humor" as well so I also thought it was over the top.
- And unfortunately I didn't quite get the romantic attraction, but the physical attraction and friendship. I guess because she sometimes felt like his therapist and again didn't find his humor charming or that they had a special rapport.... Just they kinda tolerated each other/ lived with each other, spent time together in a time where they were lonely and the other was just what they needed for that moment and found each other hot.
- I thought it was weird that he didn't have a bodyguard or other security personell to deal with...
Smut: 3/5 🔥
Would recommend it though and maybe pick up another book of Olivia Dade.
