I know I say this all the time, but I feel like it's important for you to know: I never read the synopsis of a book. Judging by the cover, I was expecting some kind of chick-lit or full-on romance novel. It turned out to be part chick-lit, part mystery.
What starts as a story about a fat (don't come for me; I'm fat and I don't think it's a dirty word!) influencer who reconnects with an old friend while also meeting a new man, turns into a cheesy mystery. Cheesy, but fun. I couldn't really take this story seriously, but I didn't see it as a negative. It kept me hooked and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The narrator, Danielle MacDonald, was really good.
Make sure to check trigger warnings, especially about fatphobia and fat-shaming.
