I needed this book.
Maybe I’ve been reading too many thrillers, but I found this so refreshing!
First of all, I went into this thinking it had “Game of Thrones type references” and knowing there was a romance. I did not know this was a SEXY NOVEL! Whew! It got hot and I didn’t hate it!
But beyond that, I loved the the commentary on body positivity. It represented what I wish “real life” could be. I don’t know if we’re there yet as a society, but I was able to suspend my disbelief and dream. And it takes stories like this to get us there! Young women need characters like April to pave the way and show them that they are beautiful no matter their size. But just as important, maybe more so, are characters like Marcus who see women for who they are and love every inch of them!
