I appreciated that the main character's plus size body was never a question in terms of her relationships. She never doubted herself in that way, and her love interest never did either. Some other books of this genre do the opposite, having the character "come to terms" with her body or doubt her "worthiness" of love. I'm so, so glad this book wasn't like that.

I wasn't a huge fan of how quickly everything wrapped up at the end. It was more like they both assumed they'd obviously get back together, so the just did.
