i honestly can't decide if i liked this book or not so maybe when time goes by i'll change my rating to a 3 just to round it up 😩 the plot was good, i even liked the romance but i feel like the whole time jack was trying to convince himself that libby's weight doesn't matter to him, when it clearly did, and i didn't like that honestly. but i loved how libby handled things throughout the whole book and also the diverse representation was amazing!
