So I‘ve read the first two in this series, and now I‘m on the third. I have to admit that this series is somewhat of a guilty pleasure…

julesG Can relate. I binged the first three. 4w

Mirazzles I‘m glad I‘m not alone! 😎 4w

so-so

I found characters likable but couldn't really relate to the romance. I admit that I prefer slow-burn.

This was also a bit too predictable and similar with so many other romance books that I might have been even a bit bored for that reason. This was a light read.

I didn't like the writing but I loved the message of the book.

Thanks @MicheleinPhilly for this second hand recommendation.

Very body positive #Romance about Friends-To-Lovers/Fake-Dating.

Chris has been in love with Trix for ages, but the quarterback doesn't dare to ask librarian Trix out. She's his best friend and he does and doesn't want to ruin the friendship. But when Trix needs a fake date for her reunion, Chris might finally get his chance.

For the month of April I had to go with this delightful book. I‘m reading the second one now. Swoon.

I loved this! In my head Chris was like a Jason Mamoa type quarterback. Could‘ve used more 🌶️, but I loved the story.

Apparently, I‘m going through a contemporary romance phase. I saw a review of this book by @LibrarianRyan the other day, and made a snap decision to see if I could find a copy. It was absolutely a pure fluff read about a football player and a librarian who are long time friends. There‘s low drama and an emphasis on body positivity.

#audiobook

LibrarianRyan Yep!! I won‘t lie I read it for the title. 😁 8mo

willaful @LibrarianRyan If you feel like doing a challenge, @Faranae 's #URC has that exact prompt. :-) 8mo

Daisey @LibrarianRyan That‘s absolutely what caught my attention, and your positive review made it an easy decision. 8mo

Faranae @willaful I saw the tag and thought “well, that's somewhat smuttier than willaful's usual URC fare...“. The URC *also* has “A book involving fowl“, although I really hope no one submits purely euphemistic chickens to it, or that will be an exclusively romance review post next year. 😂 8mo

willaful @Faranae I don't have anything for the fowl prompt yet! 🔔 8mo

Daisey @willaful @Faranae This one has a few real chickens and the rooster Luke Skycocker is definitely a key character! 7mo

willaful @Daisey Good to know. :-) 7mo

LibrarianRyan @willaful I can NOT add another challenge. 😁😁😆😆🤭🤭 7mo

willaful @LibrarianRyan relatable! 7mo

Faranae @Daisey That is a FABULOUS name for a rooster.

(Aside: I run the URC every year, but also the MRC, which is only 12 prompts, and the FRC, which is 25. Check them out sometime for next year maybe 😁) 7mo

LibrarianRyan @Faranae I will. I do the BBRC every year. Its runs on a fiscal year rather then a calendar year. The goal is to read books in every age group (ie Birth and beyond).

Can I find your challenge on StoryGraph or just Listy> 6mo

4.5 ⭐I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt like I was looking at myself 20 years ago. I was a tween librarian in Colorado who is fat. Didn‘t have the football playing best friend but that just made this all that much better. I love that this book centered around a fat girl. Not a curvy girl, a fat girl. And that romance and sex were completely allowed and rejoiced. This book is pretty gosh darn predictable.
