40-Love

It was fine - I love Olivia Dade's plus-sized heroines and their strong senses of self, but I just didn't buy the romance here. Not because of the age difference between the characters or anything, really, but it's a vacation fling, they've known each other not even two weeks and he's ready to quit his job and move several states away? Even assuming that wouldn't cause any issues with his work visa, that's a big change. I feel like Lucas needed more development as a character for that decision to make sense. All in all, this was a fun, goodhearted book, but I wanted it to show its work a little bit more for the plot and character decisions to feel earned.
