Penelope appears strong and confident on the outside, yet like many of us, she struggles with body positivity beneath the surface. Enter Everett “the Love Guru” Kingman, a self-proclaimed expert in all matters of the heart. When Penelope seeks his dating advice, it seems like nothing could possibly go wrong—right?
While I enjoyed Penelope and Everett's journey, I found the lack of communication a bit grating. Many conflicts in romance books can be resolved with straightforward conversation, which is part of why contemporary romance isn’t usually my go-to. However, the Kingman family remains a delightful ensemble of supportive, green flag, men who genuinely uplift the plus-size women in their lives, striving to make the world a better place.
Once again, Amy Award excels with her heartfelt portrayal of a fat woman navigating life and love. Penelope’s experiences resonate deeply, and it's refreshing to see such authentic representation on the page
