Hello Single Dad by Kelsie Hoss

3.0

It is a contemporary romance novel that unfortunately didn't quite hit the mark for me. While the premise of a plus-size romance is refreshing and much-needed in the genre, the execution left much to be desired.  Yes there was spice, but that wasnt enough for me.

One of the major drawbacks was the narrative voice. The story shifts to a third perspective from Ollie quite far into the book, which was a little interesting. Additionally, the narrators didn't quite capture my interest, making it difficult to stay engaged with the plot.  I had to speed it up to try and make it sound better. 

The dialogue throughout the book often came across as cheesy and the characters' constant immature mindset made it hard to take their romantic journey seriously. This immaturity might appeal to some readers looking for a light-hearted and whimsical read, but it didn't resonate with me. 

Another point of contention was the predictability of the storyline. There were very few surprises, and the plot followed a well-trodden path that made it easy to foresee the ending from early on. As a result, nothing really stood out and the book lacked the unique spark that makes a romance novel memorable. 

While I appreciate the attempt to diversify romance literature with a plus-size protagonist, "Hello Single Dad" didn't quite deliver the engaging, heartfelt experience I was hoping for. However, some readers might find comfort in its familiar tropes and straightforward narrative.
 In say all that I am going to give the benefit of the doubt, and I will try others in this series, but not sure how far I will get if they are the same style as this.
