It was mid. Too much smut for me. The story was interesting enough to somewhat save it.

Okay, so I have very mixed feelings. I actually enjoyed the pace and writing, particularly the beginning. I would read another Melissa broader book. 

My main critic is how the ED is somewhat forgotten about after falling in love with an ‘obese’ character. I think if your writing about those themes, particularly through the main character, it needs to be considered. While I understand what she was going for, I found the broad storyline insensitive at points.
