Finished over two days but the off-handed ableist, anti-fat and patriarchal gender role descriptions ruined the fun for me. Also some of the behaviour of the male lead felt like the early signs of coercive and controlling partners. Worries me to think younger readers might seeing this as romantic rather than on the highway to abuse.

This book was really sweet, but I thought it was WAY too fast-paced and I didn’t fall in love with it. 3 stars for me.
