I really enjoyed reading this book, which I finished in less than a day. It's a quick, engaging read that is so real and relatable. I love that this is a story about Black girls, family, and growing in self-love. I also love that it features and celebrates plus-sized girls without the protagonist's main insecurity being focused on her weight. Instead, her looks are one thing she is confident in, and I overall love the balance between having a protagonist who is fierce and confident while at the same time struggling with self-doubt, because it is such a real experience. I love Nala as a main character and her arc throughout the story, and I love the dynamics in each of her different relationships with family, friends, and her love interest. For some reason I especially love books in which the main character interacts with an old person, whether at a senior facility or otherwise, and learns from them while also getting to experience the wonderful sass of old people. It's great and I loved how it flowed in this story. Overall this is a really great read that I would definitely recommend. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!
