**This Review contains the basic outline of the story and has miner spoilers**

I have been having some good luck with plus size MC as of late. This novel was so well written and the way the author handled our plus size queen was fantastic in my opinion.
we follow a scorned once already college female named Leila who on top of going to college also models. And because of her past romance that turned out to be a bet and humiliated her only does one night stands. She also has a rough relationship with her mother and her unsupportive and hurtful fat shaming comments.
We also follow our hot college basketball jock Adien who has a troubled and complicated pst with his family as is being blackmailed.
They meet as their best friends are dating. They obviously has instant chemistry and are attracted to one another. Leila plays hard to get and Adien chases until they end up having a FWB relationship. As the story progresses Adien starts to notice that Leila has some issues surrounding food and tries to help her though it. Our big climax comes to a head when Adien's blackmailer wants him to get rid of Leila and if not he will release the photos of his family, in turn ruining his reputation and future NBA deals. Leila is again obviously hurt by this. I won't go into much more detail then that but I will say this-
Stephaine Alves has done a phenomenal job portraying the big girl troupe in not only a super relatable way, but in a way that even if you weren't plus size you would still understand where Leilas thoughts were coming from and her out look on things as well as relate to her feelings. I truly theres something in the book for everyone to relate to, whether it be your family situation, love/ relationships, friends etc.
I loved this instalment of the Campus Games. and the diversity that Stephaine Alves is bringing to her work and with doing it so well.
