Not for me, I'm afraid. Which is a shame because it has so many things that I should be loving:

✔ Plus-sized heroine
✔ Insta-love
✔ Fated mates
✔ He fell first
✔ Alpha dragon shifter
✔ Possessive hero

I really wanted to DNF at various times but because I'm using it as part of some reading challenges I powered through. I did not connect with either main character (any of the side characters either) and honestly didn't even care when

Jakob "died."</hide spoiler> That's not great.

And the villain? Who was the actual villain?? I have so many unanswered questions that I'm assuming get cleared up in later books, but I just don't care enough to continue.

My biggest gripe though? There was so much veiled fat-phobic content masquerading as being "cute" which just came across as cringe, IMO. I want a body-positive FMC who embraces themselves, not someone who constantly questions whether she made the right decision to choose "fries before guys."

Anyways, a swing and a miss for me ☹
