Curvy Girls Can't Date Cowboys by Kelsie Stelting
3.0
This was my least favorite of the Curvy Girls series, and I’ve loved Ginger from the beginning so that makes me really sad.
I preface this review with I am not into cowboys. Like, there is nothing wrong with them, but they just don’t do it for me. A bull rider? Come to mama, but a cowboy, eh…and yes, before you ask, there IS a difference.
What I liked about the book:
1. I still think the girls’ friendships are the best part of this series. Like, seriously, these are badass women being there for each other. They are the epitome of straightening-another-queens-crown and I’m HERE FOR IT!
2. The writing is always amazing. It's cute and quirky, it has the right amount of hint-hint, and it's just so full of heart.
3. Ok, but for real, her feeling she was going to be too heavy to sit on a horse and cringing while she had to tell him that? What about worrying about how large she looked next to Ryde Alexander in that selfie? Giiiiirl, same…Kelsie Stelting sees us, she knows us, she loves us!
4. Zara is a QUEEN and I've partially continued reading these so I can get to Callie's book! I cannot wait for their books because I just know they're going to be phenomenal!!!
What I didn't like about the book:
1. Ray did not do it for me at all. He is closed off and not redeemed in my eyes in any way. Like, the blanket fort scene was the cutest I saw him and it was like he was a completely different person for every other scene.
2. I felt like for books that are very feministic in nature, especially Jordan’s book which was right before this one, this book took a step back a bit. Having to ask a girl’s dad if you can take her on a date when she’s almost 18? Hmmmm….what about the fact that her parents are total gaslighters? Or they wanted to fire an innocent man for working at their store because he was a man and their daughter got into a relationship with a completely different, totally separate man? The only person I truly liked in this book was Cori because everyone else was d*mn awful.
3. EVERY.TIME.THAT.INHALER.WAS.MENTIONED!!!! OH MY GAWD!!! I just knew Ging was going to be dumb and prove those gaslighting parents of hers right. Like girl, I don’t care if your parents said you need to go to the doc in the box, go fill that sh*t at Walgreens and GET IT DONE!
3 stars!
