Friend with benefits to lovers story line between Plus size model FMC & a basketball player MMC in college romance setting (ʃƪ＾3＾）
Pick it if you want to read a spicy college romance with inspiring development of character arcs form both the MC's 💚
Leila will make you fall in love with her courage, determination & vulnerabilities. She was an absolute delight to read. I just loved her so much for flawlessly being her & beautiful inside & out. Characters like her stand out for being a inspiration for so many things against this society. This book deserves a read for that alone ♥️
Aiden definitely is not the playboy I imagined when I read the blurb. He was the perfect example for old school romantic inspite of everything around him :p. He was so hopelessly in love with Leila; as we all will be while reading ♡(ӦｖӦ｡)
Aiden showed Leila how beautiful she was through his eyes & she showed him he deserved much more than what he thought was deserving. They both were like puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly for each other. It felt more like they were lost on something before they met each other & found themselves together. Which was beautiful ෆ╹ .̮ ╹ෆ
They start their relationship with one thing & end up finding everything. Aiden deserves a shout out for being so understanding when it came to Leila.
I also felt the end bit rushed. The whole misunderstanding concept sprung on at the last minute. And seriously I was confused with the whole basketball players name so when the kind of twist (I guess) was revealed it didn't feel like a twist it self for me.
This book is all around Leila & Aiden's relationship so the other characters didn't have much of a chance.
I loved the characters; their relationship arc & the story line as a whole but I felt I'm not able to connect with the way she writes which makes it difficult for me to connect with the emotions of the book. I really found it struggling over that. This is totally my kind of a read yet I felt something missing always; I didn't scream & laugh through the pages as I intended to. So yeah! a good read but not my favourite one.
