This was an amazing read that is exactly what a reader wants out of a contemporary romance!
While being an enjoyable “light” read, it deftly tackles many big issues. Fatphobia and fat representation, especially in the fandom/cosplay world was well addressed. Fanfiction was presented as a real and valid art form, created by writers with a solid grip on the issues inherent in writing with “borrowed” characters. Learning disabilities, all the subtle ways one’s blood family can be toxic and the complicated relationships celebrities have with fans are explored with insight and care.
The romance itself is at times sweet and sexy. Two very well developed characters with very real flaws fall in love and live realistic(ish) lives. The conflict is genuine and the happily ever after feels like a comfortable resolution.
This is a stand out contemporary romance that explores so much more. This was my first work by this author and I can’t wait to dig into her other books and series.
