This is a fun, quick read filled with humour and joy, and also evoked strong feelings of empathy for the FMC, Rose. She is a character I definitely related to as someone who is a larger size, was made fun of in high school, was assaulted. If only I, too, had won the lottery! I really appreciated how the lottery winnings only enhanced Rose's character - giving money away quietly, putting others before herself, etc.

A lovely read.

Thanks to Sourcebooks for the eARC; all opinions are my own.

I loved this book! Angus just wants to be the hero, and I found that swoonworthy!

Although I'm not a fan of third-act breakups.

I really, really enjoyed this one! A slow-burn, small town romance with two plus-sized characters, and array of folks who keep you engaged through out. Moher also does a great job at weaving in mental health issues that were clearly handled with care. I was invested in these characters and loved their journey!

Thank you NetGalley, Sourcebooks, and Lauren for the chance to read an early copy.

I wanted to love this so bad bc hello bug girls deserve love but yeah i just couldnt! It had potential to be great but ultimately fell flat for me!

This book was lovely! The emotional journey for the main characters was almost as beautiful as the love story. I loved watching her find her strength in herself and the fact she was a plus size heroine! You will ALWAYS get extra stars from me if you write a curvy heroine story. It was a sweet journey to follow these characters grow together and on their own as individuals. I'll definitely be reading more from this author!

*Curves for Days* by Laura Moher is a fun and empowering romantic comedy that celebrates body positivity and self-love. The story centers on Zoey, a confident, curvy woman who’s ready to embrace her authentic self, despite societal pressures. When she meets a charming man who’s drawn to her not just for her appearance, but for her personality, Zoey embarks on a journey of self-discovery and love. Moher’s writing is witty, heartfelt, and full of humor, making this an enjoyable read. The novel’s focus on body acceptance and personal growth adds depth to the romance, creating a feel-good, uplifting narrative.

This one was fun and I'm sad I waited so long to read it. The characters were great and the relationship was one you couldn't help rooting for. I'm not sure I liked how quickly their miscommunication issue was solved and they went back to normal, but alas, it was still a good story.

I received this ebook from #NetGalley. Curves for days by Laura Moher is about Rosie and Angus. Rosie has been fat shamed, bullied, abd sexually assaulted in her past. She expects to be aline all her life. She wins lots of money and now people are pouring out of the woodwork trying to get close to her. She is cute and sassy and ends up far from her past, where she makes friends. Angus is tall and huge and rebuilds Rose's new home and falls in love with Rose. He keeps score in his head and is a Veteran who is also a therapist. The relationship progresses until Angus finds out about the money. I enjoyed seeing the growth of the characters and the dialogue. I could picture this as a romantic movie. I also want to shop in the lingerie shop She found. I would recommend this book

That cover!! I think of it often, and the book more than lives up to it. Fantastic, Moher is one to watch.

Unfortunately this book was not for me. Angus has ptsd and one of his clients dies by suicide and then rose is bullied and has suicidal ideations among other things. It just was a romance wrapped in trauma. And I wasn’t into it.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. As a big gurl, I had high hopes for this book, but I was immediately annoyed and did not finish it.

The book is a charming and heartfelt small-town romance that I thoroughly enjoyed, earning it a 4/5 rating from me. One of the standout aspects of this book is its unique and refreshing portrayal of a curvy heroine, Rose, which is a rarity in romance novels. Rose's character is not only relatable but also deeply compelling as she navigates her newfound wealth and seeks to rebuild her life in a quaint town.

The chemistry between Rose and Angus, the grumpy townie who becomes her unexpected ally, is palpable from their first meeting. Their relationship evolves naturally, filled with sweet and steamy moments that keep you hooked. Moher does a fantastic job of blending romance with deeper themes, such as body image issues and personal growth. Rose's journey towards self-acceptance and confidence is portrayed with sensitivity and realism, making her an endearing protagonist.

The plot is well-crafted, delving into Rose's struggles and triumphs as she adjusts to her new life. Her backstory and the challenges she faces, including past trauma and societal expectations, add depth to the narrative, making it more than just a typical romance. The small-town setting provides a cozy backdrop, enhancing the story's charm and making it easy to get lost in Rose's world.

However, the only drawback for me was the rushed ending. After such a well-paced and engaging build-up, the conclusion felt a bit hurried, leaving some threads untied. Despite this, the overall storytelling and character development are strong enough to make this a minor flaw in an otherwise delightful read.

In summary, "Curves for Days" is a wonderful debut that combines a heartfelt romance with meaningful exploration of body image and self-discovery. It's a book that not only entertains but also resonates on a deeper level, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.

It's a cozy romance with a serious side. Moher explores difficult topics (sexual assault, PTSD) with care. The banter between Rose and Angus will make you smile.

I was drawn to this book because the cover features a plus-size woman, which is not often seen in books. The plot seemed cute, and I was excited to read a romance featuring fat main characters. I did like the female main character and the overall plot, but the love interest, Angus, was super annoying. I just couldn't stand him. Also, as a fat person myself, I understand dealing with feelings of not feeling good enough or having body image issues, but this book kept harping on it over and over, and it just brought down the vibes while reading. I wish I could have liked this book more, and I will definitely try another book by this author. It's just that this book missed the mark for me.

3.5 stars. Sweet story but not without some issues. I liked the idyllic small town vibe and Rosie was a firecracker. But the relationship starts as a slow burn but suddenly moves at lightning speed. Many of Rose and Angus’s problems could be solved with just one conversation, if they would only talk to each other.

I appreciated the author trying to bring attention to serious issues like PTSD, sexual assault, and bullying. Their inclusion almost felt like Very Special Episodes, though, and could’ve been incorporated into the story more.

Also, there’s a subplot involving a couple they’re friends with who meet, marry, and adopt foster kids within what feels like an extremely short timeframe, and we get almost no details. I almost felt like I was missing a book that had preceded this one.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.

DNF’d

Unfortunately, I was not meshing with the plot or the characters. However, I would try reading this author’s work again!

When Rose wins the lottery, she moves to a small town in North Carolina hires Angus to work on her new house. As their unlikely friendship becomes love, Angus becomes determined to help Rose overcome what he believes are financial troubles. However, Rose's multi-million secrets could mean the end of a beautiful relationship.

First of all, this is a stupid title for a book. Second of all, I thought the plot was bleh. (I don’t honestly remember what I was about 7 months later, but I do remember hating it.) This one is a hard no for me!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
I love body positive books! I'll read more by Moher for sure.

A slow-burning romance with two plus-size characters and a small town feel. This was a book I knew I would enjoy, and I did. Also, it provides a great explanation of PTSD among former military, as well as the lack of mental health resources available to those who experience it. This made the story tear-jerking, heartwarming, and all too real. The fact that two plus size people can fall in love is real and this book will remain one of my favorites.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC of this book. This was an honest review.

This book did not go the way I thought it was gonna do. I think the relationship was cute, the pacing was good and the story overall was good. I just didn't like the third act at all. I thought it was just weird and their personal issues that added to why the third act was what it was, is just meh to me.

I might give this author another chance. Just meh.
