I really enjoyed this. I think it is definitely a super slow burn friends to lovers situation.
The way we wrapped up the end bit really carried the entire book for me. I loved how the family issues were dealt with and fears dealt with.
Content Note: tons of fatphobia from family, men fetishing bigger bodies, loss of a partner, loss of a sibling

0The banter and chemistry in this book were actually sooooo good. I mean, I could have done without the random smut scene to start or use of the word "juices" in a sexual way. But otherwise, big fan.
