Rick Osborne reviewed Big Girl Pill by KD Williamson
Review of 'Big Girl Pill' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This story falls squarely into my "not awful but not my jam" pile. I really enjoyed Maya's family dynamics, and as much as Nina's family was a counterpoint dumpster fire, I grew up in the South, and have heard much of the same bigoted crap.
Having said that, I didn't get a sense of symmetric character growth, so it felt like the entire story hinged on one MC just being nice to the other, and not challenging them. It's also a weird feeling when you like the side characters more than the MC, and are more interested in their stories than what's going on in the main plot.
Maybe if you really enjoy redemption and reconciliation stories, this will be more to your liking than it was to mine.
