While this book is categorized as romance, personally that was the secondary theme because the fitness and personal discovery journey we follow Britta on was the strongest theme. The vulnerability and depth of Britta's character were so amazing to read and I related to some of the struggles she talked about. Wes was a true cinnamon roll of a man and I loved his support of Britta. There were some challenging topics in this book but Denise Williams did a really thoughtful job of addressing them which I greatly appreciated. Add in some sweet & spicy moments and it was such an enjoyable read. Both Britta and Wes hold back on things about their lives which was understandable in some ways but in others, it wasn't quite as believable that they wouldn't have figured stuff out and there were some slow parts that made it a solid 4 read for me. Would still absolutely recommend it!

I was SO happy that Wes showed up to her race but didn't insert himself into it and reminded her that she was fully capable of finishing herself. That felt like a really important moment.
