Defined by My Curves: Falling for a BBW
Genesis Shaw broke the BBW mold with her unquestionable confidence and natural love of self. She never thought she would be a victim of disrespect and betrayal, but one day, her wonderful life is turned upside down. Faced with a decision of playing the fool or being strong, Genesis chose her strength. Packing up and moving away from her friends and family, she didn’t look back on the situation that could have broken her, but didn’t. Whoever said the grass isn’t greener on the other side wrote the story of Cole Benjamin’s life. After breaking up his happy home, he begins to doubt the decisions that led him to his new life. The stress of Cole’s situation has him looking for a way out, only to find he is trapped in this bond he created. What will he do when he finds out that getting his feet back on the ground may mean breaking all the rules? Demonte’ Collins is living large and doing big things. All he seems to be missing is a family to share his good life with. Monte’ is over the women who just want to pop it for some cash and who are addicted to a good time. When he is about to give up, he meets his new neighbor and finally finds a woman who holds his interest, and maybe his heart. Suddenly, his personal and business life intertwine, and he finds himself fighting to save the love he never thought he would find.

Good book
I was waiting for the scene at the end of the book, such a teaser for the story to end like that. I loved this book. Genesis confidence was what I loved the most. Everybody calling her fat was making me mad. I loved Robin's personality, she didn't take no mess from anyone. Juelz didn't know what hit him with Robin, she !are him respect what he used to make fun of. Cole and Monifah were foul and they deserve whatever they get. Now Montez is the man,I loved his character. I just hope the scene at the end doesn't ruin what he was building. This was a good book.

Awesome!
Tyanna! Girl I love this drama from beginning, except when Cole cheated on Genesis, to the end. Cole is the biggest culprit in this story than all the others right now to me. He surpassed Juelz. The characters in this story are on point. I love the characters personas in the story especially Robin's. She is off the chain. Juelz and Robin definitely compliment each other. I just hope they both stay on the right path together. Genesis and Demonte have great chemistry and I hope it continues in the next installment, but I have to say this, it's funny how things come to full circle when all is said and done. Great Read ! 👍 Renee G.

BBW
With me being a plus size woman I love it. Monte sounds fine as he'll. And I love the way Genesis and Robin handle themselves.

Cole is cruel. Monte can't get mad this was before he met Genesis. Plus size woman are beautiful. I see Juelz change his tone once he met Robin. Monifa getting wait she wanted. Farrah playing both side. Can't for Monte to learn the truth and hope that he and Genesis make it in PartTwo

Things are about to get real. When everything is finally going good dor Genesis here comes the BOOM. Will Monte be forgiving or will he just walk away. Cole irks my nerve and he and Farrah deseves each other. Monifah is getting exactley what she deserves. Juelz and Robin matches each other humor they're great together

Yesss
I loved this story because big girls are winning. Genesis went through so much with Cole. I am glad that she never left him break her. I am so glad she found Demonte’ but that ending boy oh boy is it about to hit the fan. Let me just say Juelz and Robin need their own story. But overall I loved this book.

A must read book!
This book had me rooting for Genesis to finally find true love. Being a BBW was not a problem for her and I love the positive image it portrayed for BBW's. I can't forget about Robin who had me laughing and crying when she was arguing with Juelz. I can't wait for part two,because I want to know how the fiasco ends at the baby shower.

In her defense it was before you!!!!
Simone needs to grow up , Monte is ready to go off but In Genesis defense she didn’t know about Omari’s situation. Cole Punk ass needs to be shot. Between Julez and Robin I can’t figure out who’s the nuttiest...

Well ain't that something! Talk about 6 degrees of separation... Cole was a B.A.N. frfr and looks like Farrah's ol scandalous butt is about to get what she deserves too. Can't wait to see what happens after the "family reunion"!

This is truly a great read. Everything just flowed. That darn Harrah is a mess. Can't wait to see what happens at this shower. Hope there's not a long wait for part two.

🧐 it was okay
I liked the characters, but I felt this read had no suspense and it was predictable. It has a lot of potential, but I saw the cliffhanger from Athens beginning. I hope part 2 will captivate my interest fully.

Man Coke is a whole piece of work I tell ya. Genesis can’t seem to. Arch a break from Omari starting it on down. Monte is just a sweet heart caught in the middle of a broken hearted Girl. But babyyyy Julez and Robin are the couple for me.

I love the friendship between Genesis and Robin. They were more like sisters but they found some good men. Monte and Juelz found some good women and I hope everything works out for them. Cole messed up big time. I can't wait to read part 2.
