Definitely one of my 2023 highlights and one of my new favourite romances! Never did I think I would say this about a book where it takes the mc's SO long to actually meet but it worked so well and the post its oh god!! so in love.
Tiffy is such a relatable character for me, especially when it comes to thinking about her size/body and I appreciated that much.
The way Leon worries for Tiffy? Peak whump. So much suffering but also! so much love, so it was fine xoxo
This book had me laughing out loud while I was in bed sick and I could gush about it for forever but give it a chance! The writing style in Leon's chapters always made me DNF but it fits so well into the book and really just adds it's own magic, I promise!
