Grump/Sunshine but make it workplace and multicultural!
Ely is determined to bring everything she has to her new job in Hollywood. Alex is going through something, he’s not even sure what, but he’s almost certain working for his brother’s production company alongside Ely, who is quickly becoming irresistible, won’t fix him. Despite their undeniable chemistry and feelings, and that one night they refuse to discuss, Ely and Alex clash constantly at work until he finally starts to do some work on himself and she realizes that second chances aren’t a sign of failure.
Once again there is absolutely beautiful discussions of therapy and what healing looks like for different people in different places of their journey. But what absolutely grabbed my heart was the fact that Ely is fat, or plus sizes if you prefer, and yet she still enjoys sex and fashion, has confidence, and is the object of more than just Alex’s desire. This is not the first book I’ve read where this is true of a fat FMC but it was done so well that I really just sat with the joy when I finished the book.
Leonor Soliz is an auto buy author for me for sure and I’m an absolute stan for her extra content and 2nd epilogues!
