Description
Emerson Academy's star quarterback, the invisible plus size girl, and a bet that could ruin them both...The mean girl told me someone like Beckett Langley would never date a plus size girl like me, and my mouth spoke before my brain thought. I bet her I could get the star quarterback, Beckett Langley, to take me to homecoming. If I win, she'll stop bullying me. And if I lose? I'll stay home from the dance like the pariah she thinks I am.The catch? He doesn’t even know I exist.My friends are all on board, trying to get his attention so she’ll stop making fun of girls like us. But then I get to know the real Beckett. He’s kind and thoughtful and tired of only being thought of as a good-looking jock, just like I don’t like people judging me.And now I have a really big problem: he doesn’t know our relationship is built on a bet.And I don’t know how to tell him the truth without losing the first and only guy I’ve ever loved.
Reader Reviews
3.5 StarsSo… this is a book I wish I had been able to read when I was an impressionable, self-effacing, body-conscious teenager. Hell, it’s a book I needed to read NOW, as a slightly wiser, definitely better at self-talk/self-love, but still super body conscious a-lot-of-the-time adult.The message is simple: “Our curves are just that—curves. They don’t define us or our worth.” Yep! AMEN, SISTER! This YA romance follows plus-sized Rory, as she discovers new friends, first love, and, mos
4 STARS ★★★★✩ This book is for you if… ⤐ ... a little bit of stereotypes never killed nobody, if made use of tastefully⤐ ... you need a sweet little intermezzo in your usual reading⤐ ... do not require your romance novels to involve more than light petting (yes, I know. I wanted more, too)⤐ ... you like your romantic relationships to be non-toxic and non-fatphobic⤐ Additionally.Although Kelsie uses all the stereotypes I hate eye-roll at, this book was incredibly cute.

Curvy Girls Can't Date Quaterbacks is OK read. Maybe because it is YA romance, so I got bored a bit in the middle. Miss Stelting putting good moral messages but lack of drama to keep the story interesting. What I do not like is how immature the characters were. The secondary characters do not support the plot significantly. Overall this is OK read. Not too exciting nor too bad either. 3 stars
