Weight for Me
Not yet published
Expected 4 May 27From USA Today bestselling author Jahquel J., Weight for Me is perfect for fans of The Boyfriend Project and One to Watch.
Sometimes the perfect match isn't the one you planned for ...
Julissa Sanders has always carried the weight of the world--the eldest daughter, her clients' fierce PR protector, and the woman who stood unshaken beside NFL star Devon Shon. She gave everything to rebuild him after his fall from grace, stitching back his name, his career, and his future.
But after years of sacrifice and always being put last, Devon says one thoughtless joke about her body on a podcast that leaves her shattered. For the first time in a long time, Julissa vows to put herself first.
At the gym, where she's rebuilding not just her body but her spirit, she collides with Malachi Grand, Devon's former agent. Tatted and thoughtful, steady and sincere, Malachi isn't just different from Devon ... he's the kind of man who really sees her. The woman beneath the armor.
Their connection begins over workouts and smoothies and grows through late-night conversations and impromptu trips. Julissa finally finds a listening ear when she's always been the one carrying everyone else. And with Malachi, she starts to wonder what it feels like to really be loved. To not only be chosen but accepted and cherished exactly as she's always desired.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
2.75/5 stars
Thank you so much to Netgalley for this ARC!
I loved this cover first off- gorgggg! I actually really enjoyed the MMC Malachi in this also, he was so mature and really had me giggling at parts, but unfortch that was kinda all I liked about this book. I've read a lot of other Jahquel's other books, and to me this was kind of Capri with just different names. The plot was basically the same, and mehhhhhh like I feel like the end was super vague and kinda wrapped up in a rush. I wish we got to experience more of Mal and Julissa and their brand together, them learning each other, I wish we found out what happened with Ronald and things, it just felt like a lot was left out in this that I was hoping to get into. This book kinda just ends on a....random note to me. The title being put into the book also just felt really random at the end. Cause not a lot of...weight was really mentioned? Idk it felt like really random placement.
Overall I mean. This was okay! I loveeeee the cover and though it was super cute, which is a big reason I requested this. Mal was a really refreshing MMC to read about as well, but thats kind of where this story ends for me.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC! I absolutely LOVE the cover! Overall, I enjoyed Julissa and Malachi’s love story. I wanted more of the book to focus on the MMC and FMC but 50% of the book was about a different relationship. I wish more of the story focused on them building their relationship and their respective businesses rather than their past relationship(s) and familial trauma. I did enjoy Julissa and Malachi’s story once it got started but it felt too short.
