Such a honest, genuine, relatable character! Sending my virtual hugs and kisses to the author of this book who injected so much inspiration and happiness into my dark mood! I’m absolutely feeling lighter, more exhilarated, joyful after reading Crystal and Scott’s enemies to lovers troupe with the widest smile on my face!Ĭurvy Crystal is definitely pure inspiration, a talented gymstagrammer/ fitness influencer who creates such brilliant videos emphasizing the importance of self-love and acceptance! She promotes fitness! You don’t have to look skinny for feeling hotter! Atta girl! I liked you since the beginning of the story. Reading books by asian authors for aapi month! If I want to get into pacing things and sound smart (or as smart as it's currently possible for me to sound), instead of just saying the love story Wasn't For Me like usual: The first kiss came really early and I felt there were unresolved trust issues.Īlso, a love interest whose tragic backstory is being kinda bullied one time in middle school.no.Įspecially if his girlfriend is being doxxed and ruthlessly mocked on Instagram by hundreds of people, and he's like "this is the same as that one time 20 years ago."īottom line: Can we get more contemporaries with like.100% family, 0% romance? Maybe that's what I need.
They are constantly doing stuff like calling each other boring, and not enjoying time they spend together, and also not really spending time together in general. I don't think Crystal (our protagonist, an Instagram influencer) and Scott (our love interest, a firefighter) ARE that compatible. I honestly loved these characters and their family (yes, family singular, their grandparents get married in what is a very normal and not at all uncomfortable and insane thing, apparently), and the body positivity plot, but I didn't care about the actual reason we all found ourselves gathered here like at all. My least favorite part of this romance novel was the romance. So, anyway, here it is, what has become basically my catchphrase: But then again, I don't really, because to know about exercise implies doing it, and that sounds horrible.
I wish I knew anything about exercise, so that I could make a comparison that would be on theme. Prepare yourselves, because this is going to sound familiar. Reading books about working out counts as exercise, I'm pretty sure.
