Micah Peters—the very sexy and now famous man she fled— walks through her office door and sends Dee reeling. His demand that she help a young boy caught in a custody battle will reunite her with the past she left behind. Torn between duty and self-preservation, Dee isn’t easy to convince.
But when obligation wins, the former lovers get more than they bargained for—a searing passion that burns hotter than ever and startling revelations about what really happened the fateful night she left
My Thoughts…
Fat Girl wasn’t what I expected. It isn’t about a “fat” girl who lives a
“fat” girl life. It is about Deanna
Chase, who lives the life beating herself up about everything. She is heavier than she thinks is socially
acceptable, she lived a life in foster care never finding the family she
thought she wanted, and that everyone who she ever loves will end up leaving
her. Although this wasn’t a really
heavy story to read it was not a light and easy one either. I struggled with all of Deanna’s lack of
self esteem. She had the life she
wanted and didn’t know how to accept that it could be her forever.
Micah, Mick, is amazing.
I was able to see him with his character flaws, his anger and how he
reacts to what he can’t control, but truly he had a lot of patience and
understanding for Deanna. Not only was
he hot and sexy with eyes only for his true love, he knew how to build her up
and make her a better person. Together
Mick and Deanna can rule their world and keep each other in check and live
happily ever after.
Fat Girl is a book I would definitely recommend to my
friends. I am not sure I would want YA
to read it, as there are heavier topics covered.
