Alex overall seemed 1/2D, he didn’t have a whole lot of depth to him. Lauren had a bit more but only by sheer virtue of not immediately hating Alex.
I was pretty meh about the first book and I’m meh about this one too, which is a bummer since as a fattie I want fun, hot romcoms with people like me in the lead!!!
Oh! One thing that was super fucking annoying was Alex constantly commenting on their height difference and how small Lauren is. Can we… have like one romance book where the main female character is taller than 5’3”? As a tall gal it’s jarring how big of a trope this is for romance books.

My core complaints are that I wised she had toned down the number of references to Lauren being "ugly." It makes sense as part of the set up and her and Alex's burgeoning relationship, but at a certain point it ceases to matter - Alex thinks she's hot and they're into each other so that's kind of all that matters? Also, PUT THE PEGGING ON THE PAGE I AM FUCKING BEGGING YOU. For a book that talks SO MUCH about pegging why would you not let me SEE the pegging???

Wren and Alex have a beautiful love story that was a pleasure to read. Their feelings for each other grows quietly and unknowingly until it’s too loud to ignore. Alex’s defensiveness of Wren had me swooning, and Wren’s harpy energy had me smiling every time she put Alex in his place.
The forced proximity trope is the trope for me! And the fact that Alex knew it was a trope had me grinning ear to ear.
I didn’t love how Alex kept referring to Wren’s appearance. I get it; Wren is short, fat, and has a big nose. That’s Olivia’s style and I am here for it! But some of the scenes could have been written differently to not focus on her body. We haven’t forgotten how she’s been described.
