kzofrea 's review for:

The Pool Boy by Nikki Sloane

---

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. On one hand I liked how sweet but also steamy the relationship is. While I don't love the fact that they've known each other since he was at least a teen, it didn't feel like he was groomed and she never shows any sort of interest until he is an adult. But honestly none of that could make up for some of the fatphobic rhetoric that is established from the beginning and kept reoccurring.
