----------
Curvy fitness influencer Crystal Chen built her career shattering gym stereotypes. After a recent break-up, she has little time left for men, instead finding joy in the gym - her place of power and positivity.
Enter firefighter Scott Ritchie, the smug new guy who routinely steals her favourite squat rack. Soon, sparks start flying . . .
As the ultra-competitive foes battle for gym domination, the last thing they expect is to run into each other at their grandparents' engagement party. And, in the lead-up to the wedding, Crystal discovers there's a soft heart under Scott's muscled exterior. Bonding over family, fitness and cheesy pick-up lines, she just might have found her person.
But when a photo of them goes viral, savage internet trolls put their relationship to the test . . . Are they strong enough to get through it?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this fabulous debut rom-com from Canadian author Amy Lea, the dialogue is witty, the enemies-to-lovers journey is equal parts fun and steamy, and the body positivity is utterly radiant. It starts in the gym: Crystal Chen, a curvy Instagram “fitfluencer” has a run-in with Scott, a tall, dark and handsome firefighter who steals her squat rack. What starts as a gym-floor war soon turns to flirtation—but when they unexpectedly bump into each other at a restaurant, the pair soon realise their lives have come together in more ways than one. We love Crystal’s wit, resilience and confidence (particularly when it comes to fending off internet trolls) as much as we adore Scott’s good-natured humour and honesty. And the romance that flourishes throughout is genuine and heartwarming, and just enough to make us blush more than once. Set on You is a clever, easy read that doesn’t shy away from issues like fatphobia, family stress and toxic relationships. It’s no wonder it went viral online—we couldn’t put it down.

Lovely
Ventured into a new genre with this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Really easy to read & I finished it in two days would’ve been one day if I didn’t have to wait for my son to nap to read it.
Set on you
Love a body positivity message and seeing curvy/fat representation in romance. Being a mix race Asian and also fat women myself, I appreciate the representation. As with all books like this you can’t please everyone but I enjoyed it. I liked the similarities between what she felt as a curvy woman vs how her father felt in regards to his race and his acceptance in the community and his family.
Putting out the call for sexy firemen who wanna hang with me… ;)
