I enjoyed this book - the chemistry with Marcela and Theo is palpable and builds throughout the book. I found Ben and Alice to be horrible, although Alice redeems herself. Beware the book has a lot of internalized especially fatphobia but I think that is accurate.

I did think the beginning was very slow and it’s not until 30% in that the story really starts to build. But I would read the second one for sure!
