Book Review: Plus Size Player (Curve, #2) by [Author’s Name]
When I first stumbled upon Plus Size Player, I’ll admit I was intrigued not just by its title but also by the promise of a fresh take on romance layered with the glitz and glam of the fashion world. As someone who often finds myself outside the realm of high fashion and luxury labels, I was curious to see how the narrative would unfold. Little did I know, I was about to enter Nina’s world—a realm filled with confidence, charm, and a sizzling romance that kept my heart racing.
Narrated by the phenomenal Wesleigh Siobhan, this audiobook was a performance in the truest sense. I mean, seriously—Wesleigh deserves a crown for her incredible voice work. The way she captured Nina’s moans of joy, her moments of vulnerability, and even switched to a gruff male voice with such finesse felt nothing short of magical. Listening to her was not merely about hearing a story; it was an immersive experience that makes every moment unforgettable.
Now, let’s talk about Nina herself. She is a breath of fresh air. Grounded, hilarious, and unapologetically confident, Nina resonates with anyone who has ever felt different or out of place. Her journey as a plus-size fashion influencer was depicted with such authenticity. There are those stories that can feel overdone with brand-dropping or an obsession with luxury—but not this one! The nuances of her life were portrayed so smartly, offering a glimpse into her world without ever feeling inaccessible. This delicate balance made her character all the more relatable and lovable.
And then there’s Russ. Oh, Russ! He’s the quintessential book boyfriend, embodying the perfect blend of charisma, creativity, and loyalty. His smooth, slightly wicked banter with Nina pulsated with chemistry that was downright electric. I found myself chuckling and swooning at the same time—definitely a sign of great writing! The dialogue flowed naturally, crafting a connection that felt genuine rather than forced by typical romantic clichés. They had a remarkable push-pull dynamic, filled with smart, playful interactions and heartfelt moments that I couldn’t help but root for.
In terms of pacing and writing style, [Author’s Name] excelled in crafting a story that kept me engaged from start to finish. While I appreciated the depth brought to both characters and their emotional journeys, I did feel the climax could have increased in stakes. A few more intense moments, particularly related to Nina’s job and the competition aspect, could have added an extra layer of excitement. But honestly, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise delightful narrative.
Ultimately, Plus Size Player is a flirty, confident slow burn that is as fun as it is meaningful. It’s smart, swoony, and brimming with heart. This is the kind of book I want to rave about to friends, knowing it will resonate with anyone who enjoys a good romance sprinkled with real-life challenges and triumphs.
If you’re looking for a feel-good romance that celebrates body positivity and emotional depth, look no further. This book isn’t just a story; it’s an experience—one that I absolutely enjoyed and can’t wait to share with fellow readers. Grab a cozy blanket, your favorite beverage, and dive right into Nina and Russ’s world—you won’t regret it!
