Thank you for a eARC of this book in exchange for a review Leonor!
I cannot explain how much I just wanted to devour this book and I had to slow myself down the 2nd half of the book to savor it. Leonor has this way of giving you realistic characters that I wish I could just curl up with and chat. They are real, raw, sometimes flawed or dealing with hardships but she also shows them getting help, navigating relationships, friendships, work issues and amongst all of that realness we get soft, beautiful moments of vulnerability and love.
I love that Ely the FMC in this story is a strong fat Latina woman who is a little leery to hand her heart over to a man that was a grump and kind of an ass at first and Alex has to work for that love from Ely and show that he has changed to be a good partner. The relationships feel real because so often this is how I would want an every day real life relationship to be like.
There is also some spicy moments and banter with these two that also made me just happy.
Fat rep: This is a very fat positive, body neutral book and I loved that and the cover just makes me so happy that Leonor made sure to have the body reflected in the pages also on the cover.
CW: Leonor has a full listing on her website!
