Vanilla (with Sprinkles)

As a plus-size reader, it was a delight to see a book cover featuring a plus-size character (and the MMC, no less!). I was hesitant going in, knowing so many portrayals miss the mark, but Vanilla (with Sprinkles) surprised me.

Kalie and Sam's journey was frustrating (in the best ways) and fun. I tore through it.

I only have a few *very* minor nitpicks. A couple of word-form errors ("cannon" instead of "canon," "peck" instead of "pec," "Kallie" instead of "Kalie") pulled me out briefly now and then. And while the author included a disclaimer about body descriptions and fatphobia, a few word choices still made me cringe. That may be just a "me" thing, and every plus-size reader will have their own opinion.

Overall, though, this was a good read. If you like plus-size rep and messy MCs, this one's worth grabbing!
