I absolutely love the representation of a bigger woman :)) Also omg the age gap!! I didn't realize there was an age gap and I literally squealed when I heard that Lana is in her forties." Amy, Goodreads♥️ " I have NEVER laughed so much at a book in my whole life. Bust a gut laughed." Melanie, Goodreads♥️ "This book had my emotions going up and down like a rollercoaster, in the best way possible! I went into reading expecting a spicy, reverse age gap romance featuring a fat FMC, which fully delivered, but it also tackles the subject of addiction and grief."
