Crystal Chen is a a curvy fitness influencer. Scott Richie is a fireman who joins her gym. The book was ok, and I would read another from this author, but I wasn’t wowed by the characters or their chemistry. Crystal has trust issues after being a rebound girlfriend (then dumped for the original girlfriend), so she’s understandably hesitant to jump into a relationship with recently single Scott. Plus their grandparents are getting married, so family dinners could be awkward if it didn’t work out. Crystal preaches self love to her followers, but struggles to practice it IRL. Scott’s got instalove for Crystal. He’s a bit bland and she’s a bit obsessed with the fitness influencer life. It got repetitive at times, making the story drag. The ending was satisfying. (7)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
