Reviews with content warning for Fatphobia - Mile High

So cute, AMAZING representation, EVERYTHING you’d want in a rom-com.

The only downside was how lengthy it was, a total brick to get through. If you can pace it right, you’ll adore it!

Zanders + Stevie have my heart 🥹 This book is the perfect blend of banter, spice, romance, sports + emotion. Although it’s a chunk at just under 600 pages, I read it in just a few sittings because I just couldn’t put it down: it was such a fun and engrossing read.

I love an enemies to lovers trope + all the sassy back and forth and tension that comes with it, and it was done perfectly in this plot. Stevie was a fierce and sassy character with quick wit but a lot of insecurities: she was real and relatable + she’s easy to connect to as a character. Zanders was cocky, confident + egotistic but incredibly loyal and when he let his barriers down… *swoon*🤌🏽 he was a total sweetheart to Stevie, and a massive softie at heart 🫶🏽

If you’re not yet convinced, there’s dogs.. lots of dogs!

Between the banter, the steam (we’ll ignore the third act breakup: my one + only complaint), the hockey scenes, the depth to the characters, the honest communication about mental health and therapy, the friendships and found family? This was book perfection 🙌🏽

Don't really remember where I stopped reading. I hadn't checked the trigger warnings beforehand since I had read The Right Move before this one and assumed it would be fine. While reading the first couple chapters the main character had mentioned her figure at least 5 times, which made me check the trigger warnings. The book contains themes of body shaming etc. As someone still recovering from an ed this is not a book for me at this point in my life. Might be able to come back to it at some point. Hopefully
