The book starts off very slow. Don’t give up on it. Just be patient.

roebschter's review

3.5

While I did enjoy the plot and the characters of this book, it has elements that made me yell "hell no" especially the internalised fatphobia and glorifying thinness even though it's supposed to be fat positive/body neutral and the sometimes toxic possessiveness surrounding their relationship and virginity. And it's often rather obvious the author isn't from the UK not just in the language but in other details as well. I still enjoyed the book and because I'm a sucker for interconnected stand-alones I'm probably going to read the Harris Brothers series. I'm definitely reading the book about Tilly and Santino because I'm very intrigued.

This book was incredibly funny and I loved the dynamic of the MCs.
What I don't love is women constantly bodyshaming  and belittling themselves...I really have a limit for how much of that I can take. Except for that, loved the first half but meh to the second half because in my opinion some things that were said were not okay in any way.

This could have easily been a 4+ star book because of the humour and characters but because of the forced drama(lack of communication between best mates who talk about everything, lack of trust, things said that are not really forgivable) I liked it way less.

Super cute friends to lovers story. The banter between Freya and Mac is so cute. She is a seamstress and he is a football (soccer) star. They start out as friends, just watching Netflix and hanging out every night. Then she wants to have sex for the first time and he is more than happy to help.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing, as well as the focus on Freya’s insecurities. While Mac is very fat positive, Freya isn’t. And that never really changes,

as Freya celebrates weight loss in the epilogue
