This was a very cute romantic comedy. I liked both of the main characters and their chemistry together. There were a couple things that bothered me, though. First, Presley is described as someone who never ever exercised and ate whatever she wanted, and that’s why she’s plus size. While there may be women like that, but it’s rare. It just comes off as insulting. I know this author has written other books with curvier main characters and from what I’ve seen in the descriptions of those, the situation is different, which I’m glad to see. The other thing I didn’t love, was that at some point after finding out about “the bet”, she just gets a little whiny and borderline annoying. To be honest, I didn’t think the bet made was all that bad, although it makes sense that she lost trust in Adam when she already had trust and self confidence issues.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and plan on checking out more of the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for providing me access to this eARC for my honest opinion!

Preslee recently discovered that she is prediabetic. She is ready to make some life changes. She decides her first step is to get a gym membership. That's where she meets Adam.

Adam agrees to be Preslee's personal trainer in order to drum up more business for his gym. All he has to do is get her to follow her weight loss journey via her vlog. What starts out as a job soon blossoms into so much more.

Preslee and Adam= couple goals! Seriously, I could not get enough of these two. OUT OF THE BLUE hit me in my feels. It is emotional, fun and sexy. I couldn't put it down.

Full Disclosure - Books with body image/health and fitness themes don't always work for me. Out of the Blue was a completely different take on this theme and I kind of liked the honesty behind it. Preslee joins a gym because of her health. I loved that. I loved that it wasn't about a dare or a challenge or anything external or superficial. She had legit reasons for making a lifestyle change and did the work. Adam is the gym owner and the trainer that she hired after some "mishaps" on her first gym visit. He is honest and sweet and genuinely cares about his clients success.

I appreciated that the banter was good. I liked that the body image themes were honest but not mean. I liked that they had a conversation about body image and the things we assume for him and for her. If you liked One to Watch or Fastest Way to Fall - this might be one that you need.
