Who doesn’t love it when the beautiful sexy model-looking woman finds the equally good-looking ripped man and they get their happy ending? But you know what, it sometimes frustrates me. And I’m sure you’d agree with me when I say these unrealistic beauty standards sometimes get tiring. Real women don’t look like that, and reading these stories of these petite women just inculcates that if you want that ending, you need to look like that. Which, believe me, is not true. The movies, shows, books, ads, and society might keep trying to standardize something that is inherently subjective, but the only way we can fight back is by not letting them prey on our insecurities.
Okay, I admit, I got a little too serious there. Ah well, things might not change anytime soon, and my rant might not have any effect. But I do have something that would make you feel a little better. Just for you, I have compiled a list of my absolute favorite BBW Romance novels below that feature real women, so you can restore your faith in happy endings!
