I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Olivia Dade is fast becoming my favourite author! My number one read author of 2023.
Her characters break the mould of what MCs “should be” and they never disappoint.
This story was about unexpectedly finding love, an age gap, and the pairing of a plus sized body with an athlete. The MFC and MMC both struggle with chronic pain and their empathy for one another warmed my heart. MFC was very vocal about hating mess (like being sweaty) and MMC was happy to shower for her comfort. It got super steamy quite a few times.
I cannot recommend Dade’s novels enough.

Another cute romantic comedy from Olivia Dade never fails to make me smile.
Is it groundbreaking literature? No
Does anyone actually talk like that in real life? No
Do the characters get boiled down to just a few personality traits and too much time is spent rehashing the same insecurities multiple times in the same conversation? Maybe
Did it make my heart happy to read a cute little tennis romance story? Yes
