I pretty rarely pick books just based on the cover when I'm scrolling through Libby, but this one caught my eye. I lucked out! This was a great story of falling in love with yourself and someone else, with subplots about learning to take care of yourself. It also made me laugh. I wanted to stab their two villainous exes in the eye with a sharp pencil. Slow burn but eventually spicy! Somewhat sappy near the end but did that bother me? Not a bit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed this. The author details her journey from running and calorie restriction into power lifting and eating to fuel performance, and how both her body and her outlook changed. I went to a gym that followed a version of the program she did once upon a time and it made me want to pick up a barbell again…
