I have never quite related to a character like I related to Perci.
In the beginning, she’s a bit of a mess and a smidge directionless; a plus-size people pleaser to her very core. One day just before New Years, she receives a wake up call in the form of her boyfriend of nearly a year breaking up with her via voicemail on the radio just to win concert tickets. To make matters worse, they work together at her father’s company, he’s her immediate boss, and her parents aren’t entirely on her side when they find out what he did. Naturally she makes up a fictional new relationship with her new handsome neighbor to get them off her back when her mother keeps pushing her to get back together with her dumbass ex.
The next series of events are just what a good rom-com should have: a little drama, some laughs and wisdom (provided by Perci’s amazing grandmother Mimi), a few hijinks, and some truly wonderful story telling.
I absolutely loved this book. I started reading it on Kindle Unlimited, but like the psycho I am, once I realized how much I was loving it, I bought the physical book so I can keep it on my shelves and reread it to my hearts content and stick my tabs all over the pages. I’m so glad it was recommended to me by an author who I follow and also adore, Emma St. Clair. Thank you Sharon Peterson for this delightful book. Everyone should do themselves a favor and read it.
