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

Right from the beginning, I loved the banter between Britta and Wes. Britta was hilarious and I loved how honest and vulnerable she was in her blog posts. I don’t read lifestyle or fitness blogs, but hopefully there are many successful ones out there like Britta’s. Wes was facing his own challenges too, and this book handled those topics — addiction, eating disorders — very well. I loved seeing their friendship bloom into more and I was rooting for a HEA from the start.

It was a decent read, main character had a healthy relationship that started quite naturally. Wes is a great book boyfriend, he was really supportive of Britta.

Ps. Check warnings before starting this book, it contains drug abuse and alcoholism as well as mention of eating disorder.

This book is absolutely beautiful and wholesome, it definitely got me outta my reading slump. Theres so much I could discuss about this book, it was absolutely perfect. The way everything tied in together at the end made me smile, giggle, teary and squeal Wes and Britta are just wonderful (literally cannot stop thinking abt the Bubs nickname)

Even though I gave this book five stars I will say, I wish the structure for some chapters were different in terms of how short some scenes were. But that was something I was able to overlook bc of how beautiful the writing was
