Sera Tsang is chubby, Chinese-American, and likes to think of herself as sarcastically lovable; her mom says so, anyway, and her best friend Margot certainly agrees.
Constantine, known as Tino, is a male stripper searching for his one true love and lugging along a few issues of his own... Not the least of which is his--ahem--size. You know... Down there.
When the two are trapped in an dark elevator on Sera's thirtieth birthday, will true love triumph? Or will their opposing obsessions with girth--Sera's with her dress size, Tino's with his manhood--get in the way?
THICKER: A Contemporary Romance is a novella that explores the intersections of endless tensions: interracial love, the meaning of loyalty, and how to accommodate your lover's sexy specs, no matter what they might be.
This story contains explicit sexual scenes, language, and situations meant for adults.
I felt like I started a video and it turned out to be porn. This was just ridiculous. Pretty good writing, could have been a great novel with the some character building and story enhancement but it was shallow and weighed down with sex. It was the pizza delivery guy kind of porn too. Smdh
Sera and Tino both suffer from insecurity in different ways. The author did a great job of weaving their stories together and getting to the action of the story somewhat quickly. I definitely enjoyed reading it.
