Thoroughly enjoyed! Laughed out loud a lot, and found some passages particularly inspiring. However, had a lot of moments where I felt like I had missed something--I thought it was a standalone, but I'm wondering if it is truly part of a series? And I wish the characters had yelled, shrieked, and bellowed slightly less. It began to feel a bit over the top. Still, very cute and funny read with a plus-size heroine, which was exactly what I was hoping it would be.

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.

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
