npetit01 's review for:

The Build Up by Tati Richardson

5.0

---

I can't believe this is the author's debut novel! Ari is a brilliant, talented, and beautiful plus sized woman. Porter is drop dead gorgeous, successful, and in a little bit of a rut. Despite a kind of disastrous meet-cute on Ari's first day as Porter's new coworker in a prestigious Atlanta architecture firm, they have instant chemistry. The author portrays fatphobia and misogyny in a very realistic way, and and does a great job balancing those heavier themes with the swoon worthy sweet and sexy stuff.

Overall I rate this 9 out of 10
