This is a five-star, feel good, m/m rom com, with heavy emphasis on the comedy. Henry, funny and with no-filter-on-his-mouth, is newly single. His boyfriend of eight years dumped him out of the blue and cited Henry being overweight as a reason. Henry embarks on a journey to healthier living and falls hard for his new personable personal trainer, Reed. The story’s conflict involves overcoming very realistic struggles re self-image. Very happy ending.
I frequently re-listen to this book when I need a pick-me-up smile for my week. Can’t recommend it enough. One of N.R. Walker’s best.
As a bonus, the Sydney suburb where the characters live, Balmain, sounded so inviting that I researched it on the internet, and was charmed to find video walking tours of the area, and photos of the places referenced in the story. I was hoping to see Henry and Reed in each photo.
