thebookishnarwhal's review against another edition
5.0
This debut novel deserves a standing ovation for author Tati Richardson! I adored this book and cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy for my home library. Reader be warned, the beginning of this story contains racism, fat phobia, and misogyny. But let me say, this story is worth being uncomfortable for.
Meet Ari. She is a talented, beautiful, and brilliant plus sized woman. She get a new job at a prestigious architecture firm in Atlanta. Meet Porter. He is successful and gorgeous, yet in a bit of a rut. One day he gets a new co-worker chemistry sparks instantly with. Will this be the meet-cute they’ve been waiting for?
Get ready for unexpected jealousy, an Adonis male main character, a plus size female main character, pool scenes, and spicy romance scenes that will make you weak in the knees. Can I say this book has it all? Because it does. Hats off to Richardson for this grand slam review and I cannot wait to read what comes out next!
Thank you to NetGalley, Carina Press, and Carina Press & Carina Adores (Harlequin) for an eARC in exchange for my honest review!

DNF at 15% because I don’t want the conflict parts with smarmy Greer.

There was some pretty cringy writing the first hour in. Decided it was not worth my time to continue.
