Curvy Girls Can't Date Billionaires: A Sweet YA Romance
Kelsie Stelting · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Joyce Oben
64/100
👎 Skip It
This is a sweet, clean YA romance that gives its plus-size heroine real depth through grief and financial hardship instead of just a fairytale wrapper, and the billionaire love interest is written with genuine warmth rather than as a prize. It leans hard on familiar enemies-to-lovers beats and I could only find one blog review to back up the good buzz, so my confidence here is medium; Joyce Oben's narration runs a solid 9 hours but I couldn't confirm much about her actual delivery style.
