❤️ My Review
So sweet it made my teeth hurt! I’m usually not one for a BBW story (most times there’s too much focus on body issues) unless it’s well done and let me tell you other than a few minor moments this one is terrific. The characters are wonderful from the quirky, beautiful Lou aka Blondie with her penance for mouth vomiting to the handsome hunk Abel aka Mr. Popular with his glorious big, hard body. Their relationship is cute right from the start and had me rooting for them from the beginning to the end. That bitch Fate can get it right sometimes! You know where this is going but the journey is a romantic dream. So sweet and cute and funny and yup the sexy is there too. My only knocks are the amount of food and eating in the story and the secondary characters. But mostly it was a beautifully written love story that developed in such a lovely and natural way that was authentic and believable. Especially if you’re a hearts and flowers gal like me. This is my first story by this author but it won’t be my last. Loved it!
Author Bio
Hi.
I’m Micalea. Ma-call-e-uh. Weird name, I know. My mom must’ve known I was going
to be odd even in the womb. I’ve written a lot of books. Like a lot. Don’t ask
me how many, I don’t remember at this point. I have an unhealthy addiction to
Diet Coke but I can’t seem to break the habit. I listen to way too much music
and hedgehogs have taken over my life. Crazy is the word that
best sums up my life, but it’s the good kind of crazy and I wouldn’t change it
for anything.
