💭 some characters would really benefit from therapy, in general. cassandra, the main character, should be #1 on that list. i know it's a rom-com, supposed to be light hearted and fun, but if you're gonna insert deep conversations such as what was in this book, it'd be nice for therapy to be mentioned. idk about you but a dudes 🍆 isn't going to make me be "cured" from the trauma i endured.
💭 there's something about morgan elizabeth's male characters that i don't necessarily like .... their personality is fine. but i think it's the possessiveness, the "you're mine" attitude after meeting the female main character for 2 minutes. saw it in 'tis the season for revenge' also.
💭 in saying that though, i did like the book! those two things were just two big things that really stood out for me.

Do not read unless you’re comfortable with the main character dealing with a lot of internalized shame about her size. There’s also a few particularly brutal scenes of body shaming by a family member.cassie12_21's review against another edition
