This was an easy, light read for me. I am sucker for the friends to lovers trope I have found out lately... lol This has a second chance trope as well. However it fell kind of flat on the tropes for me. One reason I have it 4 stars. I was rooting for the other guy (Brian) more than the MMC. I LOVED the FMC, she is by far the best character Howe has written. I will gladly read another one of her books!

I love Howe's writing style. Her books are very engaging. This title was keeping me up late reading. I loved how well-developed and entertaining the main characters were, and their banter was great. Howe gets it right when she made this story about dating as a plus size woman. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars!

Overall this was a cute light read. However. I always seem to have issues with friends-to-lovers stories. Especially when they've already made their feelings known yet decide not to be together, but never truly give other people a TRUE chance. I loved the FMC, but the MMC fell short for me. I wish there had been more romantic moments between the two that had me rooting for them.

This was a really cute and heartfelt romance at the core of it. There was drama, heartbreak, and everything in between romance, overall a great read!. I would definitely recommend to Ali Hazelwood fans.

A special thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
