There are so many things to love about this book, even though the plot balances on one of my *least* favorite tropes: lying. Wes and Britta don’t miss a single opportunity to not come clean about their real identities for most of the story. Gang. This bothers me. It makes me so anxious for the inevitable conflict when the couple finds out the lie and it laces every interaction with an uncomfortable power imbalance that makes it so hard for me to swoon as hard as I want to. I needed about 20% less lying and 20% more banging, but here we are.

That said, I loved Britta. And Wes! And Britta’s friends! The wedding scene in this book is super swoony, and following Britta fall in love with exercise and herself was really great. Britt’s is supremely likable and relatable. Love love love her. Can we have more heroines like this please? Can we have more heroines who enjoy exercise at all sizes too? There is a trope where FMCs just don’t like working out and I’m here for a lazy day, but there are so many benefits to exercise beyond what you look like and I want more of that represented.

Denise Williams can write a toxic ex!!!! Wow. Kelsey?! 😤 This is after putting one of the worst fictional men into the universe in How to Fail at Flirting: Davis. This book is teeming with superbly unlikeable jerks. We have Ben, the toxic hipster, Mason the douche-y marketer (who totally redeems himself!), and Wes’s mom, who more than anything is sad, but woof, also brutally difficult to deal with (great redemption arc here, too!)

This book was absolutely amazing. Thank you @nicwillwrites for amazing writing, characters, and most of all representation for those of us that are not athletic or size 0. This book was perfect timing for me too as I sit down to make goals for February!

Just a few things I loved:

📳-the DMs between Britta and Wes
🛏️-only one bed
🏃‍♀️-the personal training
🍕-the positive relationship with all food
⌨️-Britta's posts
