Okay that was really stinking cute. I picked it up for a reading challenge and honestly I am glad I did. It deals with hard topics but does it in a way that feels natural.

Great body positive read that includes some wish fulfillment. I wish there was more development of why the mc changes the way she does by the end of the book as I felt that part was a little lacking. I also think the mc felt a little flat sometimes.

Includes a lot of descriptions of fathphobiw the main character experiences which could be triggering. Also includes some homophobia that the mc and other characters experience. It includes a difficult relationship with her mother which may be hard to read.tuliptohru's review against another edition

I think I’ve found another favorite book of the year! This is one of the ones that I desperately wish had been around when I was in high school. I’m sitting here crying because this book made me so ridiculously happy that it exists now (and it takes so much for me to cry over a book). It’s lovely to see a fat character like Skye, genuinely loving the body they’re in and for the story to not focus on her losing weight to feel loved or accepted. It made me so, so happy to see her living her best life and standing up not just for herself, but for everyone who’s ever been told they can’t do something because of their size. There were so many lines and quotes that I highlighted in this book because they were things that hit home. I felt so seen and understood by this book. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs that everyone should read I’ll Be The One. It was a fantastic book and I’m giving it a solid five stars. And now I need to go dry my eyes 😭.

This is the fluffy, happily-ever-after, YA romance that I crave every now and then. I loved this book and it made me smile reading it. I liked that this book dealt with fatphobia and beauty standards in Korean and American culture. It also dealt with strained parent/child relationship, LGBTQ+ issues, and bullying. I loved that Skye had support from friends and others, but she was ultimately her own source of encouragement. She believed in herself and gave herself confidence, even if it meant battling the voices in her head. There is a good amount of queer characters and I am happy that there is bi representation! Lots of pop culture references and, of course, K-pop songs and references! I will be thinking about Henry for a very long time because he is simply perfect.
