Body positive FMC? Yes please. Complete simp of a professional quarterback who just pines and pines and loves his girl from afar? Sign me up.

There was some drama, but this book was relatively chill and a solid in-between read - one that will help you get out of a funk or help kick a reading slump to the curb. Both characters were so adorable, and I loved that they didnโ€™t have any drama with each other. The body positive representation made me feel right at home.

Definitely going to continue this series when I can!
