The Love Con

Average rating3.7
I'm not usually all about the besties to lovers trope, but Glass does it well. This is a warm and light read if you want something more romance filled with characters you will enjoy following. I'm still not big on the trope, but hey, this one made me just a little more fond of it.
NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP 💃🕺
I LOVED THIS BOOK! As a fat it is magical to see a fat MC that isn't filled with internalized fatphobia. While this was a fun and fluffy book on the surface it also had a pretty direct storyline of the racism and stereotypes that Black women face in everyday life. Seressia did a good job of banancing the fluff with the drama and i'm excited to read more from her
I have been reading some good books lately 🕺🏾✨
If you have ANY friends to lovers recs GIVE THEM TO ME NOW. I did not expect to love this book so much. Kenya and Cam 🥹 love them so so much.
I have so many good feelings that I can't really express in a review. Just know that I loved it, and the FLOW, the flow of this story was so good. Idk why they stood out to me but it was top tier.

This is a romance novel with so many layers from a girl fighting for her dreams and hopes of thriving in a creative career to a complex relationship forming with a life long friend. It was SO well written and swoony and fat positive and I enjoyed every second spent in between these pages.
3.5 (rounded down)
This was really cute and I loved the vivid descriptions on how Cam and Kenya designed their projects. However, the romance aspect was not as strong as it should be and the sex scene was written poorly in my opinion. Despite this, the story was overall really heartwarming and a great example of a Black woman navigating and prevailing many different struggles in a predominantly white space, all with a great friend and lover by her side.
I absolutely loved this book. The author did such a great job showcasing the struggles young black women face in the cosplaying world. The constant micro aggressions and put downs for not looking a certain way. I had such a good time reading this
