I felt like this book treated fatness as a problem to solve instead of fully allowing Savvy to embrace her figure, the only way she begins to love herself is by noticing how her body has changed from the beginning of her workout journey til the end.  To me, body positivity is about loving the skin you’re in without having to change yourself and this book didn’t really espouse those ideals. I liked the romance aspects and the friends made me laugh out loud often so the book wasn’t a total wash.

This was fine. I think my enjoyment level was lower because I listened to the audiobook and I didn’t like the narrator that much especially doing the male voices and especially during the smutty scenes. I do like the diversity included in this. There are some heavier topics so just have caution going in.
