A gym nemesis pushes a fitness influencer to the max in Amy Lea’s steamy debut romantic comedy. Curvy fitness influencer Crystal Chen built her career shattering gym stereotypes and mostly ignoring the trolls. After her recent breakup, she has little stamina left for men, instead finding solace in the gym – her place of power and positivity. Enter firefighter Scott Ritchie, the smug new gym patron who routinely steals her favorite squat rack. Sparks fly as these ultra-competitive foes battle for gym domination. But after a series of escalating jabs, the last thing they expect is to run into each other at their grandparents' engagement party. In the lead up to their grandparents' wedding, Crystal discovers there’s a soft heart under Scott’s muscled exterior. Bonding over family, fitness, and cheesy pick-up lines, they just might have found her swolemate. But when a photo of them goes viral, savage internet trolls put their budding relationship to the ultimate test of strength.

This book felt like it took me forever to get through and I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Exes and O's. I think my problem with the book is that I don't like characters that can't speak their mind or are very "whoa is me." I felt like Crystal started so confident and then she spirals and I just wasn't very empathetic for some reason, I was more annoyed than anything. This was a big bummer for me because we love when their is curvy representation in a MFC. I just had a hard time relating to Crystal so I just had a hard time empathizing with her too. Her love interest Scott was great and I really enjoyed his character and I almost wish we had gotten some of his POVs.
Overall I won't remember really any of these characters or the story line here in a few weeks and that's okay with me.
