I pretty much completely enjoyed this story of a manwh@re who falls for his BBW assistant. He was totally clueless, she was inexperienced, and they had great interactions when on the page together. Two problems, one I listened to the audiobook and the male narration when he was doing the female character was just awful. It was good when he did the male, and when the female narrator did both the female and male parts, just him doing her. Second, and this did get slightly redeemed later in the book, but I am so tired of characters who are overweight demeaning themselves in books and making everything about their weight. That happened a lot with Evie throughout the story and made her seem whiny and, really, not that likeable because of it. She assumed everyone was judging her because of her size. It got old really fast.

 

Those things aside, this was a snappy, almost romcom, that moved along at a good pace and had some great characters!
