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.
