It was good. Not bad, but not great. Just good.
There were things I loved when reading — the first half of the novel is a lot better than the second half. I loved the bickering and build of the slow burn.
There are very few times I relate to a main character but Lauren was different. Having weight issues in a fatphobia society is unbelievable hard. Lauren had been through so much but still kept her chin up. I admired that of her character.
The fandom culture tied into the story was enjoyable. As someone who reads on AO3 it was fun to see fanfics in the book.
Overall the second half of the romance was fine, but I wasn’t in love with it. I wasn’t swooning or hurting from the light angst. I liked Alex, but I wasn’t entirely in love with him. He was really funny and his background was complex creating a contrast.
Tw: fatphobia (comments to fmc made by family members and strangers, airplanes), domestic abuse survivor (mentioned/mmc’s mother), sexual harassment, explicit sexual scenes, mental health in a hospital setting, violence
