Description

Lila Chen has always felt like she takes up too much space. As a plus-sized Chinese American woman, she's used to being overlooked, especially in the romance department. Her focus? Acing her pre-med courses. That is, until she meets Jamal Thomson. Jamal, with his lanky frame and easy smile, is everything Lila isn't – and everything she secretly craves. Their study sessions in the library start off strictly academic, a haven for two self-proclaimed virgins. But one late-night cram session changes everything. A stolen glance, a lingering touch, and suddenly the air crackles with an undeniable chemistry. One steamy hookup later, the library becomes the backdrop for a passionate awakening, and Lila and Jamal find themselves falling hard and fast. But navigating the complexities of their burgeoning relationship, while dealing with family expectations and societal pressures, will take more than just late-night study sessions. Can Lila and Jamal rewrite the rules of attraction and find a love that fits them perfectly?
