Thank you so much to BKMRK for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review (ad-gifted)
Goodreads Synopsis
What would you do if you had to spend the next 15 days with your lifelong crush?
Felipe gets it -- he's fat. Not chubby. Not big-boned. Fat. And he doesn't need anyone to remind him, which is, of course, what everyone does. That's why he's been waiting for this moment ever since the school year began: school break. Finally, he'll be able to spend some time far away from school and the classmates who tease him incessantly. His plans include catching up on his favorite TV shows, finishing his to-be-read pile, and watching YouTube tutorials on skills he'll never actually put into practice.
But things get a little out of hand when Felipe's mom informs him that Caio, the neighbor kid from apartment 57, will be spending the next 15 days with them while his parents are on vacation. Felipe is distraught because A) he's had a crush on Caio since, well, forever, and B) Felipe has a list of body image insecurities and absolutely NO idea how he's going to entertain his neighbor for two full weeks.
Suddenly, the days ahead of him that once promised rest and relaxation (not to mention some epic Netflix bingeing) end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings, forcing Felipe to dive head-first into every unresolved issue he has had with himself -- but maybe, just maybe, he'll manage to win over Caio, too.
Oh my god, I ended up devouring this book in one sitting! I absolutely loved the characters and their development throughout. This book was more than just a cute romance, this was a story of overcoming your fears and embracing who you are as a person!
I loved the body positivity in this book! As a big girl myself it was nice to see Felipe slowly become comfortable in his own skin. Felipe was an amazing character who was so awkward but lovely! Caio was adorable and I loved how patient he was with Felipe.
Honestly, I could sit here and talk for hours about how beautiful and lovely this book was but I want you to read it! So what are you waiting for?
Overall this was such an amazing book and I honestly recommend everyone picking this one up when it releases on the 21 Jan!
Rating: 4/5 stars
