Rezension zu The Weight Of It All von N.R. Walker
So cute.
von Sakuko
Kurzmeinung: This is a really cute, funny, fluffy, supportive book. Adorable couple, fun banter. It's pro getting fit and healthy, but not judgy at all.

Henry's boyfriend of 8 years breaks up with him, because he's apparently "fat and old" even though he's just 35. Dejected he decides to hit the gym, to at least lose some of that extra weight.
Enter Rees. Hes a personal trainer at the gym, fit, buff and drop dead gorgeous. Soon they are texting, talking recipes and meeting up for outings to the farmers market.
But even though the exercise and dieting show results, Henry just can't believe that a stunning guy like Rees might ever be interested in frumpy, boring him.
Ok, this is just about the cutest book ever. *swoon* It just feels so very believable.
I adore Henry, I love his humor and no-filter commentary, even if he's a bit whingy in the beginning. I'm like that too, so I can relate. But he gets left by his boyfriend and instead of sitting at home depressed he's doing something. And regardless of how much he complains, he sticks to it.
Reed, well, he's just prefect. A bit too good to be true, actually, but it's a romance after all. He's fit, buff, friendly, approachable, understanding, supporting, all the 9 yards. And he wants someone who sees that he's more than a good-looking dude in a gorgeous body.
I really liked the slow burn, how they first connected just as friends, talking recipes and food, spending more and more time together outside the gym. There's preciously little drama. Well, Henry has one freak out, but he does go back and apologies the next day. The whole book is just really warm, fluffy and supportive.
All the gym stuff is well researched and makes sense, too, which I find important for things that interest me. It doesn't make loosing weight or getting fit sound easy and it doesn't gloss over that it's hard, but it shows how fun and rewarding it can be.
