Publisher's summary

"The perfect feel-good read." (Emily Henry, number one New York Times best-selling author of People We Meet on Vacation)

Britta didn’t plan on falling for her personal trainer, and Wes didn’t plan on Britta. Plans change, and it's unclear if love, career, or both will meet them at the finish line.

Britta Colby works for a lifestyle website, and when tasked to write about her experience with a hot new body-positive fitness app that includes personal coaching, she knows it's a major opportunity to prove she should write for the site full-time.

As CEO of the FitMi Fitness app, Wes Lawson finally has the financial security he grew up without, but despite his success, his floundering love life and complicated family situation leaves him feeling isolated and unfulfilled. He decides to get back to what he loves - coaching. Britta’s his first new client, and they click immediately.

As weeks pass, she’s surprised at how much she enjoys experimenting with her exercise routine. He’s surprised at how much he looks forward to talking to her every day. They convince themselves their attraction is harmless, but when they start working out in person, Wes and Britta find it increasingly challenging to deny their chemistry and maintain a professional distance.

Wes isn’t supposed to be training clients, much less meeting with them, and Britta’s credibility will be sunk if the lifestyle site finds out she’s practically dating the fitness coach she’s reviewing. Walking away from each other is the smartest thing to do, but running side by side feels like the start of something big.

Realistic romance and humanity/behavior of people

Loved it and it was realistic for a nice change in my readings. It seemed as if all of the characters were people I knew.

Loved this story!

The narration was great. Loved how this love story also led to personal growth of the couple as well.

Wanted to be in their world

I really enjoyed this story and listened to it mainly on my commute. When I got to my destination I wanted to hear more. I loved the real vibe of Britta.I felt like I knew this character. She was so relatable! At first the male narrator's voice grated on my nerves, but eventually I got used to it. Don't get me wrong, he's got a great voice but I thought he would be better suited in a more dramatic role. Still I couldn't put it down. The story was great and I'm glad the author gave the disclaimer in the beginning.

Such a fun listen

I really enjoyed listening to the story from the plot to narration....it was such a cute and fun story. I couldn't wait to dive back in when life made me pause it. I am newer to audio books and this was one that would make me a fan of the medium. Bravo all around.

Good Read!

Enjoyed this read- performances were great too! — I like the fact she chose herself and he was just a great addition!

Love!

I ended up loving this book, it is the first fiction book that I have listened to on audible and I found myself listening to it as much as I could even falling asleep with AirPods in a couple nights. The story was interesting and I loved the narration.

Feel good romance

I loved everything about this story and really connected with the characters. A wonderful slow burn that’s still exciting!

Cute but

It kinda went down hill after the Britta chapter my interest slowed down.

Definitely a feel good story though. Love romantic comedies so this is the type of stuff I just eat up.

In Love!

It took me awhile to get into this book, but I loved it, all of it!!

So different

Loved this book so much. I heard it all in a day. So different from all the other love stories, I’m a plus size girl myself and to listen to a love story where size doesn’t matter and confidence is the main subject it’s definitely now a favorite of mine.
