BFFs where FMC still has v-card and MMC is a professional football (soccer?) player. Loved how these two come together.

I would have liked this book better if it weren’t set in the UK. It was really obvious to me that the writer was American and trying to write Brits and it really took away from the story for me.

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.

I decided to read this on a whim to help get myself out of a short reading slump, and while it did the job it isn't really a book I would recommend to another. It was cute, funny, sexy, and entertaining at times; however, it just didn't sit right with me that the plus-sized protagonist really came into her self worth after getting the attention of her fit and best friend. There were just a lot of components that made me think a read through from a sensitivity reader might have done this book a whole world of good.

It was really hard for me to read with the accents of the characters. I also just couldn't stand the fat shaming the heroine kept saying to herself. I also just didn't feel their chemistry after the first kiss. 😕 I really wanted to like this but definitely not for me right now
