I was hoping for so much more from this book. While I appreciate the overall body positive message, I was very confused by the stilted tone every character took on while speaking.

Okay....this isnt any easy one to review, mainly because it was reccommended to me by a friend, i saw the summary and thought YES this is for me, independent woman, like to do her own thing, travel etc but i could not relate at all tbh, there were parts i really enjoyed, mostly i felt that the best parts of the book which were very good, (for example i would have like to hear more about Julian and felt odd how it ended) were cut too short for me, but i enjoyed those moments enough to give a good rating as the book is very well written.

It was a cute, short book that was enjoyable to read. It was very dialogue-heavy and sometimes a bit cringy, but there were maybe only four partial sentences that I just crossed out to fix it.

This book didn't start well for me, as the vignettes didn't really connect together. Over time, though, they began to and formed a story that I came to really enjoy. The ending chapters were the best for sure, and I loved the message running throughout.

I liked how the book not only explored Natalie's issues with her body, but had some exploration into men's relationship with their bodies too. I felt like the story really started around halfway through, though I did like the inclusion of isolation as an Expat in a foreign country.

3.5 stars.
