DNF 50%. I have a feeling it comes around in the end, but there was too much internalized fatphobia at the beginning for me to enjoy this.

This book is a perfect easy read. It has fun characters, a plus-sized badass heroine, and a hero that's a bit of a cinnamon roll.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a delightful read where Savvy really grows into herself and learns to love herself for who she is and take charge of her life in a positive way. This book definitely had me smiling and enjoying the journey! I really liked seeing Savvy's relationship with her family and close friends as she navigated a bad breakup where her ex was looking for an "upgrade".
While this book definitely had a romance in it, I think it was more of a subplot as the focus of the book was Savvy learning how to love herself (and we love it see it). All in all, I can't wait to read more romance by this author!
I'm not sure if it was the eARC or what, but there did seem to be some weird glitches in my copy. The most glaring was that every word that had "fl" in it and a space between those two letters - f lour, f lag, f loral, etc. There were also some odd transitions between scenes in this book; places where Savvy would be talking to her friends and then it would be a different scene with her uncle. I would have appreciated some sort of line or page break there to make it seem like a different interaction.
Like I said, those were just minor issues in a story that I thought was well-paced and the growth was real and believable. Can't wait to read more from McCoy!

This book took forever to finish because I had to force myself to read. Savvy is a fat girl who is admittedly self-conscious of her weight because of the judgement she gets from people. Yet she proceeds to judge Spencer as being homeless because of his clothes which is obvious to anyone that he works in manual labor. I have never come across any homeless person who walks their dog through residential neighborhoods. And despite her rude/disrespectful/callous tone, Spencer proceeds to be nice every time their paths cross. Also I can’t remember but I don’t think she ever apologized to him for misjudging him. The constant run-ins with the ex was beyond annoying and she could’ve just blocked his number.
Another one to add to the favorites pile! I love Savvy!
