A review by christie_esau
Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

emotional inspiring medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.75

Another 4.5, even skewing a bit higher because the fat positivity and body hair affirmation was lovely but the careful inclusion of adoption and attachment trauma was even better. As with Dade's other books, this one is SPICY so be warned but it's also nice to read a romance wherein any toxicity is largely countered and the MCs are both fat.
