MY THOUGHTS
Well guys. I finally finished this one.
Aaliyah was turning 30 but she didn't want her thirtieth birthday to come without having a date for her birthday party. Her family wanted her to get a life partner, her uncle even expressed concerns that the reason for not having a person was that she was a few pounds to heavy.
While navigating the dating Apps and going on numerous dates, Aaliyah befriends bartender Ahmad, who is handsome but "married" at least that is what she thinks. Their relationship takes us on an interesting ride throughout the book.
I liked this book because it is not often that you get to see a plus size main character in a romance. It was interesting to get the perspective of how curvier girls get viewed by men. The only minor thing is that I felt it should have been a bit shorter in the middle. The birthday party scene at the end made up for that though.
Fun and romantic. You can give this one a try.
