CW: flashbacks of childhood bullying and social humiliation, anti-fatness, mentions of stalking, discussion of past child abuse, and manipulative/toxic family dynamics. 

I never thought I’d like a Bully Romance and yet here we are. The set up of the story was a little contrived, but the characters were so compelling and flawed in a realistic and fascinating way. I loved watching them work through their complicated past. The sexual tension was electric, and the pay off is worth the wait. This author is quickly becoming a personal fave.

I highly recommend this to fans of contemporary romance with fat heroines and vulnerable men striving to redeem themselves.
