bookfortbuilder's review against another edition
So the FMC is pretty much her family’s doormat. Which is a trope authors like to use for plus sized characters. And I’m over it. I get that the book should show her growth but I’m 26% percent in and it’s hard to read how pathetic she is. And as a plus sized reader I’m honestly tired of this narrative. Could have done the break up and had it make her angry instead of more of a doormat. And where is the romance? How far do I need to read before I start seeing the attraction? I’m tired of authors using “plus size” to justify a character being a doormat. There are plus sized women who fall in love and a lot of them are not doormats to their abusive families.
