I'm absolutely in love with the story. Crystal & Scott were so cute I didn't want to finish this book. It has "taboo subjects" but it's still light-hearted. I'm so excited for the next book from Amy Lea.

„I’m sorry, but I can’t say I love every roll and all my cellulite all day, every day. At the same time, I don’t need to self-loathe and hate myself either. It’s about accepting and respecting yourself, while realizing there is so much more to you than just your body.“ Crystal Chen has made a name for herself as a fitness influencer and advocate for body positivity. Trolls that judge her for being too curvy for her line of work hardly even bother her anymore. Someone who brings her blood to boil, however, is fireman Scott Ritchie. Stealing her favourite squat rack just won’t do and she’d be happy to never lay eyes on him again. Their subbornness and competitiveness aren‘t the only things they have in common, though, and soon they’ll be seeing a whole lot more of each other than they expected… I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s rather fun to follow the progression of Crystal and Scott’s relationship and their banter is just hilarious to me. The characters are fleshed out really well, with interesting back stories and realistic struggles which make them all the more lovable and relatable. I like that „Set On You“ isn’t „only“ a love story, but that it also touches on subjects like loss, racism, unrealistic societal standards and cyber bullying. Despite including those rather serious topics, the book gives off an overall positive and hopeful vibe and stresses the importance of body respect and self-acceptance, which I really appreciate. If you are looking for a romantic comedy that isn’t only swoon-worthy, entertaining and occasionally a little steamy, but also has a good message to it, I highly recommend you read „Set On You“. I, for one, am already keeping my eyes peeled for Amy Lea’s next novel.
