I enjoyed it well enough. Bumped up the score a tad for the good body positivity/HAES attitude throughout the book.

Okay I read this with high expectations and was slightly disappointed 😞 I really liked it up until this "fight" between the two mc's bc Wes made a shitty decision that was addressed but not met with any reparations. I do see how it happens but I don't like how it went and how Wes turned out to be. I still love him though. Not enough smut for my taste. Also felt kinda slow.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud of a main character. I loved Britta from the start and even more so at the end. I was melting from all the cute moments she has wit Wes. Absolutely loved this book.

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

This very much felt like a body positive and fitness spin on the movie how to loose a guy in 10 days. 

Britta works for a life and health magazine when her and a coworker are asked to try out two different fitness apps. 

Wes is the ceo of Fitmi. A body positive fitness app. 

Wes decides to take on a client for the first time in a while and it happens to be Britta. They slowly begin to fall for each other as Britta begins her journal segment about fitmi. 

Overall a very adorable, but at times hard covered topics, love story. Not only about falling love with the guy, but with your self.

Scary side of diet culture in very unhealthy ways but it is addressed well in the book.
