The Words by Ashley Jade, A. Jade
4.0

*4.5 or 4.75/5⭐️

Wow. I mean….wow. This book was absolutely delicious, dirty, sweet, and heartbreaking. First of all, what I loved most about this book was the plus size female main character representation. I swear that every FMC in any romance book I’ve ever read is the same, perfect, can-get-any-man-they-want athletic built character and it was so heart warming to get a realistic body type in this book. I loved the representation of highschool bullying and what it does to people. The spice was hot with just the right amount of dirty. I loved all of these characters so much (however, I absolutely abhorred Phoenix up until at least 50%, that arrogant fucker, but from then on my heart grew 10 sizes for him) but Lennon especially. I relate to her so much, her incessant need to put everyone else before her. The only reason I gave this 4.5/5 was because I felt the ending was *a tad* rushed and that some of Lennon’s inner monologues were repetitive. But aside from that, this book gave me all the warm & fuzzies, and I cried and laugh on multiple occasions. This one was so worth it & it’s sticking with me
