Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
Tropes: Plus size heroine, MMF, throuple, small town, age gap
Series: Misadventures #18 (they are all standalones and can be read separately)
Triggers: Fatphobia, PTSD

*As always, please check triggers before reading*

Let's talk about fat/plus size representation in books. While more books are being written with fat/plus size representation, there is still a major lack of quality representation. Misadventures of a Curvy Girl is a great example of quality representation. 

As someone who has been fat/plus size my entire life, I related so much to Ireland throughout the entire book. She actively fights against her internalized fatphobia and wants to live her life fully without letting thoughts from others/society about her body get in the way. There were countless times that Ireland would say things about her body and I realized I've said those same things to myself. I was challenged by this book to interrogate the internalized fatphobia I have and to make active changes to love myself. I'm by no means where I want to be, but it's an ongoing choice I make every day.

Caleb and Ben are just perfect. The way they make it known that they desire Ireland's in a non-fetishized way is the hottest thing. They are truly attracted to her because she's what they like and they aren't afraid to be with her. I've never read about characters being so into a fat/plus sized body that it took me by surprise. I need a Caleb and Ben of my own immediately.

Sierra Simone is one of my favorite authors. I love her writing style and the way she approaches the different topics in her stories. She has some of the most immaculate spice I have ever read. This book was hot and the men did not hold back during spicy time. I love everything about this book and I recommend it to everyone, especially fat/plus sized folks because it is great representation!

Release date: February 19th, 2019

Description:
*The description comes directly from the Sierra Simone's website*

For the first time in her life, Ireland Mills is happy with her body. No more fad diets, no more hiding from every camera in the room, no more low self-esteem. She's rather be alone than with someone who'll only love her if she's skinny.

Caleb Carpenter and Ben Weber are everything Ireland and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce dreamed of when conceptualizing the "Real Kansas" promotional campaign. They're handsome, young, educated, and totally dedicated to their small prairie farm.

When Ireland's Prius gets stuck on a Kansas dirt road and a massive storm rips through town, she's left stranded with nowhere to turn but to Caleb and Ben. These two hunky country boys are impossible to ignore, but could they ever be interested in her as well?

Caleb and Ben are more than interested...and they're willing to share. After their first night together, they know this has to be more than a one-time thing. They need to make her theirs forever. But can they convince Ireland they lover her, curves and all?
