I was approached to review this book by the author and I am so glad I accepted. The thing that really drew me to this book is the fact that it is about Plus Size girls. Obviously, I can relate to that especially since I connected so much to this from my high school days.
The characters were so relatable that I found myself wanting to know about each of them, and not just Rory. And since there are more books, each about a girl from the club, I will get my wish!
My only comment is that there are times this book is slow and a little predictable. It is your basic will they, won’t they and the ending is not a surprise. However, the reason to adore this series is the way the characters are portrayed in a way that is relatable and real. So for me, I didn’t care about if the story had been done before, but fully appreciated how it was told.
Again, I absolutely cannot wait to read the rest and hope I do get that opportunity soon. The author, Kelsie, says that all the books should be released by January of next year.
