I really wanted to like this book. It was sweet and I liked the characters, I really saw them. But I just found the entire plot dragged on way too long. Slow burn for a disappointing ending with strings left untied.

It felt implicitly racist and fat phobic… the storyline was a good idea if it had it be executed better

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, tugged at my emotions, and made me root for both main characters. There are some tough topics covered, so definitely read the content warnings first.  Would read more from this author.
