Beautiful Story
This story was a lovely coming of age, finding yourself while finding friendships and love at the same time.
Aurora “Rory” is overweight and has been bullied by her mom (with good intentions behind it due to mom’s past and health teacher background) and of course by peers.
Senior year she stands up one of those bullies and makes a bet with her that goes epically sideways because the bully is an epically evil young woman with her own insecurities who handles them horribly.
This book focuses a lot on the insecurities between mom and daughter that just feed the ones that Rory already has. That was hard to read about.
Now I don’t normally read YA or non spicy books but this story was well written and I liked how the author didn’t shy away from adding some nice steamy kisses in here as we all KNOW that happens and so much more behind closed doors in HS, but she also showed the main male character showing restraint on those things.
He was written to be so down to earth and respectful. I really liked them and would love to see a novella about them in NYC as adults doing ADULT things ❤️❤️
