I might (emphasis on might) have given this book a higher rating, but the author uses highly fatphobic language frequently throughout the book when describing characters (not as a theme of the book or from one character describing another).

I listed ‘sexual content’ as a minor content warning, but any sex-related scenes are fade-to-black. 

The book has a lot of cute moments and is
a Happily Ever After
but doesn’t really earn it and is ultimately unsatisfying.

I feel like I didn’t entirely do this book justice because this month was so crazy so hectic and anytime I was picking this up it was for such a short period of time that I don’t think I embraced the story to its fullest and paid attention as much as I possibly could that being said I really enjoyed it I loved the ending I love the characters and their personalities and the things that they liked and the things that they did I loved the little bit of action and the freaking moose and a dog and a kissing and the ATV incident I just loved it all.

😍😍😍😍 This was TOO CUTE, y'all. Such a perfect sick day escapist romance, I cannot even. Nerdy off-beat heroine and cinnamon roll hero + blind dog in a hat + Alaskan setting + amazing side characters + moose friends + humorous writing + just enough spice? YES PLEASE. Docked a star for fatphobia and some problematic elements that I didn't think were dealt with appropriately. I will definitely be picking up more from Sarah Morgenthaler.
