I picked this up because of the very cute cover, and it was adorable and fun! All the silly Colorado places were cute to pick out and the romantic leads were enjoyable to read. I extra loved that our leading lady is fat and has a realistically positive relationship with her body. The plot was a little formulaic (I KNOW I KNOW it's a romance, there should be a formula) and predictable, so the story wasn't the most engaging romance I've read this year, but it was quick and very enjoyable. Do recommend if you're looking for fat characters with positive depictions, if you like silly Colorado shout outs, or if you just want a straightforward and sweet romance.
