  • Book x Song

    I'm a reader who really values music, so i love to match my books to some songs. It left me wondering: Do you have a song that just immediately reminds you of a certain book?

    For me, it's Demons by Imagine Dragons - it reminds me of the book Legendborn, especially the ending!

  • Brain louder than book

    Does anyone else get distracted while reading - not by your phone or anything, just your own brain? 😅 I’ll read a whole page, realize I absorbed none of it because I was thinking about literally anything else. Or I’ll start skipping lines and feel guilty for skimming the page for dialogue.

    How do you stay mentally present when you read?

    I will always root for plus size representation in books. Especially in romance novels. And this book did a great job of showing that the size of a persons body should not dictate how their lives should be, or how they present themselves to the world. Yes, the insecurities and the negative comments of others will show up, but it shouldn’t be a driving factor in someone’s life. With that being said, I really enjoyed this book. Ellie is a great character. She had her own version of confidence that could not be destroyed by negativity, trauma, or embarrassing bikini mooning debacles. She was written so well and kindly, I would love more of her. The romance was sweet and filled with fun. I loved how it focused on Alex and Ellie’s friendship and it slowly grew into love. The adult scenes were written sensually and romantic. It wasn’t over the top at all. There wasn’t an over abundance of vulgarity, and that was greatly appreciated. Slightly graphic, but it was minimal and not overwhelming. The conflict was discussed very maturely, and the resolution which I thought would have ended in a bigger explosion of fights and arguments, was very interesting to read. It didn’t take over the story or over shadow the romance, which I loved!

    Overall, the story was great! I would love to see more books like this one. More curvy women and the people that love them!

    Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo for sending me an arc for this book.
