A cute premise, but I didn’t find this book as entertaining or endearing as Dumplin’.

This was such a cute read! It was so fast to get through and I really enjoyed it. Very much The Prom or You Should See Me in a Crown.  The main relationship was cute and slow burn. I liked to watch where it went. I enjoyed the way this dealt with fatphobia and body positivity! Very cute.
