minimouse2105 's review for:

4.0

As always, I've been enjoying (most) of Sandhya's works! Just "As Kismet Would Have it"... That one will always leave me salty haha.

I loved the format of this book, the strangers-to-lovers trope, and it wasn't really a cringey read like some YA romance novels can be!

Here's a quick (no spoiler) summary of the book:

The story is about a teen named Sweetie who is struggling with how OTHERS around her perceive her due to her weight.

Annoyed by this, she decides to go against some of her loved ones to create a persona and mission: the Sassy Sweetie Project.

We follow her as she rebels to begin living life for HER and to prove others wrong (and her belief in herself RIGHT).

There was a stake added at the end that didn't feel like it fit with the continuity of the character(s)... But I can overlook it.

I really enjoyed reading this book and learning/watching (er, reading?) the development of so many characters. I'm not seeing it's to help set us up for the rest of the series that'll focus on the other characters as well.

I love this series (it starts with "Something About Sweetie").
