Britta, the main female character, is a plus size biracial assistant and wanna be full-time journalist at a millennial wellness magazine who is in a competition with another writer (both will be joining two different fitness apps and writing about their experiences). Britta unknowingly gets matched with the CEO of the fitness app as her trainer. We read their messages back and forth first in emails, then through a messaging app, then via text messages. As they become friends and then become flirty, they realize that they both live in Chicago then begin training in person. The feelings swirl between the two (secretly within each other) as they both consider the conflict of interest they’ve gotten themselves into. This book mentions the dangers of crash dieting and over exercising and emphasizes that you can be hot and fat! It’s told in alternating chapters from Britta and the male main character, Wes’s, POV. I loved that even though this was a swoony romance, ultimately self love was the biggest message. Britta’s transformation was not (just) in her body but in her confidence and reliance of herself. I will definitely be adding more books by this author to my TBR!
