Publisher 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.
Customer Reviews
Heartwarming and uplifting
This is a lovely introduction to the Curvy Girl series, which has rapidly become a favourite. The steam factor is low, which is definitely appropriate, given that the protagonists are teenagers. While there is a fair bit of teen angst in the story, it isn’t too overblown, and still very enjoyable for adults to read.
I love how respectfully and thoughtfully Kelsie includes and explores personal and social issues in this series. It is heartwarming and uplifting, and a pleasure to read - not at all preachy.
I would have given this story 5 stars, but the trope at the heart of this story is not one of my favourites, especially as it was handled in the very tried and true manner. There was absolutely nothing wrong with either the storytelling or the writing, it is just my personal preference.
I am looking forward to reading more in this series, and am very glad that I still have plenty to enjoy before I have to wait for more!

Loved this book. I am a curvy girl myself and felt so connected to Rory.
