This book pissed me off on so many different levels. The first and perhaps most shallow being that it read like an ad for lululemon. We get it…she wears lulus (which aren’t very size inclusive) and is so quirky. This brings me to my second point. This was so very clearly written by someone who is not plus size and was a poor representation of the community in my opinion. From silly stereotypes like the MCs favorite artist being Lizzo to the inability to accept love from a hot man because it must be fake, it was all a little too much for me. Additionally, the author reminded us over and over again just how “alpha male” Scott was and how small and fragile and petite he makes crystal feel. Just felt very reminiscent of a straight sized contemporary romance (which I would’ve been fine with if this book didn’t emphasize a plus size MC). Overall disappointed and pretty let down by the content and characters.

It's not a secret that I like romance with plus size main characters because it's nice that sometimes being represented in the media that you consume. Diverse characters of different kinds is always a plus, both interesting and important for a better society in my opinion.

I'm not chinese myself but of what I know it doesn't exist many representations of bigger chinese women. So A plus on that.

What I would love to see more in romance is men that also get to have "flaws" aka having features not appreciated by dominating beauty standards. Does all men in romance have to be tall hunks with a six pack? It's getting a bit boring tbh. That's why I really appreciated Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade. Peter was H.O.T. Because he served that big bear dad bod thingy.

I had very high expectations on this book but it didn't quite do it for me. It was a fun companion on my train ride from Stockholm but not much more than that. I think I wanted the banter/teasing stage to last longer. And I didn't like the conflict at the last third. It semmed a bit weird to me. Happy to try more if Amy Lea though!
