This had a slow start but picked up really well and I ended up enjoying this immensely.
I loved the amazing representation for disability and plus sized people, it was written in such a way that is directly against the usual “disabled and/or plus sized are unattractive/sexually unavailable” way. And done so incredibly well! Be warned, it’s spicier than it seems like it would be. And I think this is done intentionally to show that, yes, these groups want/have/enjoy sex!
I was worried that the miscommunication trope would ruin this for me but actually it’s the most well-written example of this trope I’ve come across. It didn’t last very long and the MCs deal with it in a mature and realistic way.
Loved the characters and the writing!

My gosh this story is incredibly adorable. I love it.
Things I love:
- The protagonist Chloe and her love interest Red are so sweet together. They have the best sense of humour!! I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. They call each other out on bad behaviour and work hard at becoming better people.
- Their chemistry is so great!
- The side characters are just so sweet! And lovely.
- great disability representation. Chloe is chronically ill, and this is treated with sensitivity and respect.
- Watching Chloe and Red change from disliking each other to loving each other is believable and heartwarming.
- Chloe's sisters are hilarious and adorable, and great emotional support.
- Red's mum is adorable.
Cons: No cons that I can think of. The misunderstanding near the end is so sad (!!!) but it works out and Chloe and Red get their happy ending through communicating maturely, so I'm satisfied.
