If we’re awarding stars for spice, 10/5 🌶️⭐️! There were only a handful of spicy scenes but WHEW! 🥵 They were good. I probably would’ve given this four stars, but it’s getting the fifth for the spice alone.
This was a really cute story, fun premise, great characters, lots of diversity and representation, and (best of all) so well written! Truth be told I REALLY dislike the cover art. (I’M SORRY! 😬 I just would’ve loved to see the characters as the focus, not a rainbow cake.) My reading 🚩 is that I will absolutely literally judge books VERY hard by their covers... BUT the cover does not lie where it says “the dialogue snaps and shimmers” - it’s top notch! Flirty, witty, but still believable. I could absolutely believe that, if D’Vaughn and Kris were real women, this is how they would really interact with each other day in, day out. I loved them, I loved their relationship, I LOVED their families! The way that D’Vaughn so easily fit in with Kris’ family was especially endearing to me. Also really thrilled about the positive plus-size rep! There was no harmful diet/exercise culture, no shame or even much insecurity about her size, there weren’t constant reminders that she’s big, it wasn’t a main plot point at all, just simple fact.
I do have a couple of criticisms: The first handful of chapters were all somewhere around 30 pages and that’s just a personal pet peeve of mine. I hate long chapters. I feel like they could’ve easily been split to keep them a little shorter and offer the reader more stopping-points, but at least the pace wasn’t dreadfully slow, so I was still able to get through them reasonably quickly. My biggest letdown was the final chapter before the epilogue. It felt VERY rushed, almost as though the author just wanted to be done with it already. Without spoiling anything, I feel like there was so much more that could’ve (should’ve!) happened with all of that, and with the larger cast of characters in the shocking situation they found themselves in. It seems impossible than they would react, in that moment, in the ways that they did… which was basically not at all. There could’ve been a whole additional chapter there, I think. The epilogue was cute, but still the story felt unfinished to me.
In the end, I still really enjoyed this book. Very glad I got over my opinion on the cover art to give it a chance because it surpassed expectations, and it’s worth the read.
