i thought i would not like this book very much when i started this but i was surprised that i liked it a lot more than i originally expected. i liked some of the mental health representation but some felt a little overdone? i did like the representation of different body types (rather than the tall muscular guy and the petite girl combo i see a lot). i hated the third act and the conflict portion which brought the rating down, it felt really silly and overdramatic. overall, this had more depth than normal mainstream romance books and it was pretty enjoyable. i will definitely read other books this author writes.

5.0

A cute read! In some places it felt like the cheesy-factor was dialed up more than other rom-coms, but I think it works given the amount of focus that is placed on depression in the book. That balance works. My favorite thing about this read was that our hero, Russell, is a fat man. An explicitly stated fat man, and Ari is aaaallllllllll about his body. It’s handled really well, and I love reading about fat men as romance heroes. Russ is 100% book boyfriend material

Minor: Fatphobia

Russ describes how a coworker wasn’t sure if he should be on camera at work, given his body size. That’s why I have marked fatphobia as a minor CW.
