When she's accepted into the prestigious dance program of her dreams, she thinks nothing can bring her down—until she realizes she doesn't have enough money to go. Refusing to give up, Addie and her friends decide to put on a top-secret, invitation-only burlesque show to raise funds. But word soon gets out, and the slut- and body-shaming begin.

Main 6 with fat!MC on a day she’s absolutely feeling herself??

Main 6 x Fat!MC Who’s Feelin Herself

Asra

He is in his element when MC is feeling herself, he loves seeing her feel good and he is the best at helping keep her hype going

Lots of wrapping his arms around her waist and squeezing her and kissing her belly and thighs and complimenting them, very content to get a “yeah you’re right” in response ~

Will go out shopping with her and hyper her up and twirl her around in anything she tries on as an excuse to start dancing with her in public regardless of if its an appropriate place to start dancing. 

Nadia

She loves seeing MC like this, in her opinion she thinks itd be delightful if MC felt like that every single day. 

SINCE she’s really feeling herself, then why not a little fun together in a shared bath, so that Nadia can *ahem* also...feel..her...(a little body worship never hurt anyone) 

Or maybe going around the center of town or out shopping together? Nadia would love an opportunity to turn heads with her hot wife when MC is feeling confident too, it rubs off on Nadia tbh. 

Julian

Lots of wrapping his arms around her and whispering in her ear how good it is to see her seeing herself the way he sees her every day of his life.

Takes her out to the Rowdy Raven and is in awe at the fact that she finally is taking his suggestion to dance on the tables with him, and dances with her until Barth kicks them out for the night. 

A night of worshiping her body until either she or Julian passes out from exhaustion because theres nothing he wants to do more tonight than to pay attention to her favorite parts of herself.

Muriel

Shy smiles while watching her check herself out in the mirror, happy that she’s happy and feeling good. 

Wrapping his arms around her and kissing her belly, running his hands along her thighs and admiring her while she basks in it. 

He’ll definitely try to get her to talk about what she loves about herself and her body while she’s feeling really good, so he knows what to say and how he knows she can feel about herself, so he can bring it up on days when she’s not feeling herself as much. 

Portia

She gets so excited when MC is really into herself. She’ll encourage MC to strip naked and the two of them will stand in the mirror together admiring themselves and talking about what they find hot in themselves and each other. 

Butt smacks and belly pinches and lots of touching each other and giggling, Portia loves seeing MC like this. 

She might even try to bring MC out to go get some outfits, since she’s feeling so good, she needs some feel good outfits and a hype girl!

Lucio

Oh he LIVES for days that shes really into herself, hes into her all the time but to see her just so about herself, he is just elated honestly. Days like that are All About Her. 

Does she want to spend the day naked with him complimenting her? He can do that. Does she want to get fitted for a new wardrobe? He can do that. Does she want to smother him with her thighs+ belly until he can’t breathe? He can make that happen. 

Anyway its probably going to involve all three, knowing Lucio.

4:24 am

(Idk just something I threw together after waking up yesterday morning. Chubby/fat MC sad)

Sweet pitter patter of rain emitting from your laptop. Back in the human realm many people suggested that those with tinnitus should always have some background noise to cancel out the high pitched beeping/wave sound your body created for some unknown reason. 

You shuffle in bed.

They also always said you shouldn’t be around loud music, something you never cared for much. You’d rather experience a sudden hearing loss than miss out on all the fun. You only used the sound of rain to fall asleep, to be honest you didn’t care if it was that or creepy pasta as long as you could relax to it. 

You roll around, your fingers gently, almost insecurely reach out, searching for his warmth. Yet, all they find is a cold void next to you, a sudden wave of sadness crashed over you. Where is he?

You carefully open your eyes, blinking away the bright light your laptop cast onto your bed as you wait for them to adjust to it. Your eyes take in the crumbled up pillow next to you, illuminated by the artificial blue light you pull it close.

Who was he? You asked yourself as you sleepily reached out for your laptop, decreasing the volume.

It wasn’t like you were dating anyone, so who were you missing?

People don’t date me, you silently whispered to yourself as you open a new tab and overlay music over the sounds of raindrops hitting the patio. With the words of the song, your own thoughts begin to betray you as they whisper all your insecurities into your ear. All the reasons no-one would ever like you and why you will always be alone. 

While taking a long breath in the second wave of sadness broke above you, drowning you in your thoughts. Your eyes become heavy as you lay in bed, listening.

...

Your toes touch the soft fabric of the rug in front of your bed as you rose out of it. Slowly opening the door you step out of your room, nothing but the quiet pitter patters of your steps echoing throughout the house as you made your way down the stairs. 

Standing in front of the closed door, you wondered what you were doing here. It was childish, a grown woman standing in front of someone's room because they were.. sad? Lifting your hand, you let your fingertips brush over the cool surface of the metal door before pushing it open. You slowly step down the ice cold metal stairs into the void. 

“Mammon,” you whisper as you stood beside his bed. 

“Huh? Levi if it’s you fuck off.” he groaned tiredly as you heard him shuffle. 

“It’s me. Can I- Can I sleep with you?” you whispered, pulling at the hem of your shirt. 

“Mmm.. S-Sure come on in,” his raspy voice invited you as you heard him pull his covers back.

Your feet leave the floor, you feel almost as if you are floating, your thigh brush against the warm covers as you crawl into his bed. You inhale his warm-spicy scent as you let your head sink into his soft pillows. Home, you think to yourself as you drape the cover over yourself. 

“What’s wrong?” he grumbles, the sound of his voice changing directions as he turns around to face you in the darkness. 

Your insecurities whisper into your ear, they want you to tell him a lie, something about how it was nothing, and you just wanted to make sure he was going to get up in time. But you were tired, so tired. You didn’t have the energy to listen to them.

“I just... I suddenly felt sad after waking up..“ you whispered into the darkness, regretting it as you were met with silence. 

“Why?” a simple yet cutting question, pulling open a deep wound you tend to regularly pick at yourself. 

“I-I just felt alone... and I don’t know, unloved, maybe? I know I have no right to feel this way, I mean I am ugly and fat and..” you whimpered as you felt warm tears fall onto his pillows. “I’m sorry I don’t know I shouldn’t be crying. I want to stop but I can’t”, you choke as the tears continue to flow. 

You felt the bed shift under his weight as he came closer, his arms wrapping around you as he pulled you into his warm and inviting embrace. You felt soft kisses on the top of your head as you sob into his arms apologizing for getting your tears onto him. He gently hushes you, squeezing you tightly as if to mend every crack inside of you. 

“Shh... don’t think silly things like that.” he hushed you as he rubbed the back of of your head. “You’re gorgeous, the way you are, so what you aren’t like the others. I can list like 10 things of why I like you and would choose you over anyone else. Number one is that I don’t get tortured as much since you’ve been here.” 

You let out a laugh as you wipe your tears away. He always knew how to make you laugh, even if you didn’t feel like laughing.

“It’s true, honey-lips. Ya wanna know why that is number one?” he asks as you feel his hands mindlessly draw circles on your back. You nod into his chest as he props his head on top of yours. 

“Cuz when I am with ya I’d rather see ya happy and hear your laughter than scam someone for money.” you felt him grin against your forehead as he kissed it once again before he continued “I also love the way ya eyes sparkle when ya look at me be it from laughin' or 'cuz you are planning something again or just 'cuz. I adore your smile even if ya always tryin' to hide it but, it never fails to make me wanna smile with ya. Not to mention the way your eyes almost disappear when your grin becomes so big and you start complainin' ' bout it hurtin', but ya can't stop.”

You feel your breathing calm down as you close your eyes and listen to him spill his thoughts. 

“Ya' know, the reason why I always study with 'chu is 'cuz I like watchin' and listenin' to all the smart stuff come out of the pretty mouth of yours when ya start ramblin' about shit I don't understand. Not to mention the way ya be lookin' when you lean in to explain something I don't understand. It's breathtaking.” you felt his body move as he chuckled at the thought. “I admire ya for just being weird sometimes and being able to laugh about yourself when someone catches you doing it. I may not understand why but I also enjoy it when ya take your time to do things with me. Like normal shit such as cook a dish from scratch and sitting down in the kitchen to eat it and getting to know each other more, ya know the deep conversations thing. Ya think you are ugly and fat but I adore your body, every curve and dip, every imperfection and perfection. To be honest, it doesn’t matter what others think of ya and if someone says something they are wrong 'cuz I know better. 'Cuz I know that you’re everything and more,“ he spoke before realizing what he said in his sleepy state. 

“I- I mean you should feel honored that the great Mammon cares for a human like you..” he stuttered, shifting so you could rest your head on his chest. Snuggling into his arms you chuckle and whisper “Thank you..” as you both intertwined your legs before falling asleep.

If you’re looking for something to make you smile just as much as it makes you think, Lyla Lee’s debut I’ll Be the One is the perfect book for you. It’s categorized as young adult romance, but don’t let that put you off. I’m in my forties and I loved every second I spent with these characters.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown: A Review

GoodReads synopsis: Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?

Enjoy a drunken night out. Ride a motorcycle. Go camping. Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex. Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage. And... do something bad.

But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…

This book was an absolute joy to read. Chloe and Red are fantastic characters, and the author did such a fantastic job fleshing them both out and seeing how the two of them fill each other's gaps. It took me a bit to warm up to Chloe, and I think that was because she's so utterly British, but the more you see things from her point of view, you cannot help but love her. You see her growth as a person from Chloe at the beginning of the book to Chloe at the end of the book. You can see it, this transformation into what Chloe wants to become. You cannot help but root for her while rolling your eyes are her ridiculously posh-ness. She is bossy and demanding, but not in that "Ugh what a witch" kind of way. She knows what she wants, how she wants it, and she will go for her when she is ready to. She doesn't allow her illness to hold her back any longer.

Red has become my favorite male character this year so far. He is wonderful. He is not without his own issues, and you see how they've affected his life just as Chloe's issues affected hers. We see the effects of an abusive relationship, and I LOVE that the author chose to have the point of view from a male survivor of an abusive relationship. How the automatic negative thoughts take hold when you've been told you're nothing over and over again. The great thing about this novel is that Red recognizes this and seeks out treatment. And when he tells Chloe, she praises him for doing what he needed to do to get mentally healthy. And how he works with Chloe and her chronic pain, ensuring her needs are being met and that she is comfortable just melts this cold heart over and over again.  I know in every romance novel, the two characters are going to end up together. Talia does it in a way that you just feel that these two were destined for each other. There was no one else on this planet for Red or for Chloe.

I love that this book had a plus-size MC with a disability and was a Black woman. We don't see that a lot of the time. But these things were not what Chloe was. She was so much more, and that was also what was refreshing about this book. Her size wasn't talked about at all. It didn't have any bearing on her chronic pain. It was just the way it was, and home girl owned her body and knew she was stunning and sexy. I was a little worried that she would be fetishized by Red, but no, he genuinely found her sexy even she was sick, because Chloe is who she is. The way he worshiped her body made this plus-size reader swoon just a little bit.

This is a romance novel, and there are sexy scenes in it, and they were glorious. Not too raunchy, but not vanilla either. The scenes were sexy, sweet, and perfect.

I cannot recommend strongly enough to go buy this book when it comes out. It will be absolutely worth it, and I know I will to add it to my collection.

I was given this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

What would you do if you had to spend the next 15 days with your lifelong crush? Felipe gets it -- he's fat. Not chubby. Not big-boned. Fat. And he doesn't need anyone to remind him, which is, of course, what everyone does. That's why he's been waiting for this moment ever since the school year began: school break. Finally, he'll be able to spend some time far away from school and the classmates who tease him incessantly. His plans include catching up on his favorite TV shows, finishing his to-be-read pile, and watching YouTube tutorials on skills he'll never actually put into practice. But things get a little out of hand when Felipe's mom informs him that Caio, the neighbor kid from apartment 57, will be spending the next 15 days with them while his parents are on vacation. Felipe is distraught because A) he's had a crush on Caio since, well, forever, and B) Felipe has a list of body image insecurities and absolutely NO idea how he's going to entertain his neighbor for two full weeks. Suddenly, the days ahead of him that once promised rest and relaxation (not to mention some epic Netflix bingeing) end up bringing a whirlwind of feelings, forcing Felipe to dive head-first into every unresolved issue he has had with himself -- but maybe, just maybe, he'll manage to win over Caio, too
