I don't have enough good things to say about this book. I'm a semi-professional reader, I've probably read thousands of romances and novels in my too-many-to-mention years on this earth.... and I'm SO sick and tired of heroines who are perfect, heroes who are billionaires, and the endless trends of "she's having his baby" and so on and so forth.
A heroine who has true-to-life body image issues (and not without reason, that's the best part)... she is built like a real normal human being. Everything about her, and about ALL of the characters in this book, was believable and I could easily identify with her. Working in a dead-end job, surrounded by people she thinks are better looking and having better lives than her.... only to discover their humanity through very realistic situations.
I got this book based on one thing: real men, good-looking men, DO find curvy girls beautiful and sexy. I wanted to see how the author HANDLED this, and I was not disappointed. The hero is successful, but not a billionaire; he works for his money and expresses the same types of stresses and realistic situations that the heroine experiences in the book.
As another reviewer pointed out, the "romantic" scenes in the book stay within the realm of tastefully sweet and tender exchanges and more is suggested than is spelled out in graphic detail. It was refreshing not to have a great ROMANTIC story ruined by obsessing on the length of the guy's "manhood" ROFL there is a market for smut out there and that's great for readers who are looking for that. This book is not that. I felt that the author made a decision in favor of keeping true to the sweet characters in the book, who struggle with being human, but who would frankly not behave in a promiscuous manner....
I was thrilled to find that I agreed with pretty much every plot twist and turn the characters took.... if I was experiencing these situations in real life, that is pretty much how I'd expect it to go. Real language and easy-flowing conversations that never sounded stilted or overly formal.... as I said, I can't find enough good things to say about this book LOL
I eagerly await the next book from this author!
