5.0

The scene where Psyche talks about her lotion made me cackle. Also really loved that we get to see Psyche's relationship with her body image, both positive and negative. It seemed more real than making her feelings about her weight purely one way or the other. But I also liked that this exploration wasn't made her focal point. Her cunningness and kindness and the way they clash and intertwine are what makes her an interesting character throughout instead. 

Again, 100% stan the dynamic between these characters. I love the shift that happens in Eros in particular as their relationship progresses and he realises what he really wants. 

Hades and Eros = Biggest Simps For Their Wives Club. When Eros started calling her Wife it was *chefs kiss*

• Authentic representation of plus sized women.
• Very good. Shouldn't have worried that much. Still liked the first one better tho, but i can't explain why. Both were good.
• Marriage of convenience.
• I love the way Katee Robert describes her characters (because she doesn't really assume the default white person, and starts by mentioning the skin color of a person) + the casual queerness of this. I really want to read more by her.

Loved this, ate it up, so good. We have now heard about 2 of the 4 sisters this series revolves around and I’m guessing I know who comes next. Katee is such a brilliant writer and storyteller. I’m so impressed

I enjoyed this book. Katee Robert is quickly becoming an author that I cannot put down. These books are easy in the sense that they are not complicated. Easy to follow. Loved the fat representative in this book and Eros sort of being the wounded morally grey man just worked so well!
