Review:
I have to be honest, I almost DNF'd this book because of the MMC. There was such a disconnect with what the other characters were saying about him and the person we were reading about. BUT I am so glad that I pushed through and continued to read their story. Once we find out what's going on, things click and we get to meet this person we were told about. And I cannot say enough about the FMC. She is fat and knows that she looks good. She was a delight. I'm excited to read further books from this author.
Quotes:
“That you need to be active in what you choose for yourself to get things to change. The places where you have agency are the places where you can be purposeful. Active. Bitterness means you don't think things can change."
“But now he defies our agreement, and he dares be less of an ass and is more like a grump who can be quite sweet, like a stern brunch daddy."
“"Alex is— lightning. He's wind I can't see unless it's shaking a tree. When he's sweet, he's the coziness of hearing the rain fall on the roof while you're under heavy blankets.”
He got me a seat belt adapter without asking and without notice and I almost melted right there and then, when I saw.
