Curvy Girls Can't Date Quarterbacks by Kelsie Stelting

3.0

This book was cute. A funny and lighthearted read over spring break! It focuses on a senior, Rory, as she struggles with having confidence and body positivity as a curvy girl. When “Mean Girl Merritt” makes a bet that she can’t get the quarterback to ask her out to homecoming, Rory accepts the challenge. However as she continues it she realizes what a mistake she has made and how to come to terms with that. She had a great character development and through the people she meets, she begins to realize her self worth and that her size doesn’t define her. This book is an ode to finding yourself and a story that reminds us that we are all more than our biggest insecurities. HOWEVER, I’m not going to lie some parts were CHEESY, and could’ve been written better… The plot was also SUPER predictable like within the first 5 chapters I knew what would happen…I still finished it to see how everything would turn out though. So overall, a cute read I started on my train ride… (since it was on prime reading) Not super deep, but this book definitely has some important themes.
