I loved being able to read this and relate to the characters/ see things from everyone's perspectives. It's intriguing, funny and saucy in all the right places
Cute concept; rough execution.
I didn’t get the chemistry between the main characters. Also the span of time their relationship covers is not that long, yet fmc frequently makes comments like “during all the time we’ve been together.” Or “we had helped each other so much” when it had been a week

What a wonderful debut novel! I really enjoyed this book! It’s nice to see more books where the FMC is plus size. I loved Marcela and Theo so much! They are definitely opposites but have one thing in common. Through it all they form a friendship and kind of an alliance so they can both get through it. I like how things started to shift with them and they started to truly get to know each other! I honestly don’t want to spoil anything but I definitely recommend this book!!

Great job reflecting on how we perceive ourselves and how we let others dictate how we view ourselves
I did like most aspects of this book, but I felt like something was just missing. It could be that I wasn't into the whole "she loves the groom, he loves the bride" story line. I felt like the premise just wasn't what I expected it to be. I did love the bookish themes and the surprise Theo gets Marcela; I thought that added a lot to the book.
I found this to have somewhat teenage drama vibes but with spice. I wanted better communication towards the end there. But it was an easy read to get through and I would read the next in the series.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

I received an ARC through NetGalley. This is the review I posted on there --
There were depths to the plot that could have been explored more, but I felt like each plot line had a satisfactory ending with no major plot holes.
I loved this book. I loved the very raw and honest way Marcela was presented. Only having Marcela's POV A throughout the book might have added to some of my confusion. It would have been great to get some from Theo or maybe even Alice as well.
I'm going to recommend this to my library, and I will probably buy my own copy after it's released. My personal library isn't as big as Marcela's but I do have a couple of favorites' shelves.
