It felt good to read something nice from the lockdown era. I always wondered if authors would one day broach it. Wpuld they centre a book in 2021 and instead make out it didn't occur. Or would they have to make it part of any storyline they trod into those years?
And how would they do it for something like a romcom. As there wasn't always badness from that time. But there were moments.
So this book handled it so well. And it actually bought relief to me of that period. I know people forced to be together who still are and completely happy. And friendships also started.
And this book has managed to weave it in but not let it take over.
I was a bit uncomfortable with some of the border line references here. Sexism? And the plus size thing didn't quite seem to be like it was doing so with quite honest intentions. Add to that the front cover woman!?

Be in my bubble is a COVID-19 romance. I was a bit scared of reading a lock down romance but was happily suprised. I enjoyed the characters and found the pacing nice and easy. The story and characters had depth. It was a nice close door romance. I was left frustrated with the representation, throughout the story Emily is desxribed as being plus-size but once again the cover show a thin woman. I also felt like some of the conversations around sexisms were overlooked. Maybe i would of enjoyed even more if there was more critical insight. I would recommmed to any romance lover.

This is a tough book for me to comment on because the file I downloaded was mostly gibberish. There were only a smattering of legible sentences throughout. That said, the concept for the book was interesting and fairly timely. I liked the parts that I could read well enough and thought the book as a whole showed promise. It struck me as a solid cute three star rom com read, so that's what I'm giving it.

I read a copy of this book from NetGalley. All comments are my own.
