What She's Having (Big Love from Galway, 2)
"Body positivity combines with heartfelt romance to make this a winner." --Publishers Weekly STARRED Review for Curves for Days
She may be strong, but she's not unbreakable.
July Tate is a force to be reckoned with--a big, strong blond with a heart the size of her whole town--but beneath her capable exterior lie the scars of a devastating lost love. To July, love equals vulnerability, and she can't afford either.
Joe Anderson knew from the first moment he saw her that July was The One. Now, after years apart, he's back, driven by the need to explain his disappearance. In search of the girl who filled his teenage dreams, he finds instead a powerhouse woman who steals his heart and soul.
Joe embodies everything July has been missing, and together they spark as brightly as ever. But with Joe around, July, who can usually outwork four men is suddenly making mistakes right and left. And that scares her. Because if July falls again, this time her beloved town could go down with her.
Readers of Olivia Dade, Talia Hibbert, and Lucy Score will adore this sexy Southern small town contemporary romance between a cinnamon roll hero and a plus size heroine looking for a second chance at love.

A wonderful love story between two people who adored each other as teenagers then were torn apart, not seeing each other for 20 years. This rekindling is sweet, gentle, and heartwarming, reminding us that everyone is deserving of beautiful love story.
NOTE: this book contains topics including domestic abuse/violence.
What She’s Having is a second chance romance and an emotional roller coaster - which isn’t a bad thing. It just wasn’t what I was expecting. The cover made me think it would be a little lower angst. July and Joe reconnect after 20 years and some terrible circumstances that forced them apart. They have to reckon with their opinions of each other and themselves and realize that things are always what they seem.
This book was fine. I read it quickly because it was a fast read, but it just didn’t click for me. I understand July’s reticence from a certain place but it just seemed like instead of the miscommunication trope there was just no communication! They weren’t talking about real things, just trying to avoid each other while orbiting each other. I liked a lot of the side plots for this story but it definitely felt like they had some loose ends. I was confused why the charges against Curt were never brought up again. It seemed like there wasn’t a resolution beyond him going to jail. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop between him and Maisie. I also didn’t like that Joe’s youth center never really gets put into action. Other than July, it’s a major reason that he comes back to Galway. And while the building gets fixed up and he talks about his ideas, we never get to see them come to fruition.
