Plot
This book was a cute and fluffy romance. It’s perfect for readers who want a light, easygoing read. The story follows Haleigh as her friends and family set her up on a series of dates, many of which are hilariously disastrous. While the focus on her dates didn’t fully connect with me, I did enjoy the humor and her journey.
I loved Haleigh as a protagonist. She’s plus-size, but her size isn’t treated as a big issue, which felt refreshing. The mental health representation, especially around anxiety and OCD, was also done well. I enjoyed seeing the growth in Haleigh and Jack’s relationship over the years as their history unfolded.
Since so much of the book focused on the dates, I didn’t feel as connected to Jack or the romance. I prefer romance stories with more emotional depth, and I would have liked more time spent on their connection. Still, the side characters were charming and added a lot to the story.
Overall, this was a fun and entertaining read. It’s great for anyone who loves humor, lighthearted romance, and relatable characters with real growth.
