Curvy Girls Can't Date Quarterbacks (The Curvy Girls Club, #1)

“You don’t need to make excuses for why you don’t deserve as good as Merritt has in life. Everyone’s different. That doesn’t mean less.”

I wanted to go out in public and not feel like people were judging me for my size, but seeing me as a whole person.

Now on the screen, Carson shook his head. “What’s with you girls and feeling like you have to be perfect to go out in public?” he asked. “It’s not like it’s a sale barn and they weigh you before you can go in! Just because the rest of the school acts like there’s a weight limit on hotness doesn’t mean they’re right. Or that you need to buy into it.”

“Anna, you are precious exactly the way you are. You do not need to change anything to be worthy of kindness and respect, and if they are not treating you in a way that shows kindness and respect, then something is wrong with them and what they've been taught. Not you. Do you understand?”

“No, can't you see?” I asked, looking toward the ground. “I made art. Sometimes, the most beautiful things are broken.”

I was more than happy to oblige. I knelt in front of the bleacher railing, kissing his perfect lips.

Everyone around us cheered, and he said softly so only I could hear him, “Now, that's how you wish someone good luck.”

“I wish this could last forever,” I breathed against his lips.

Beckett rested his forehead against mine, his eyes closed. “Some moments are too perfect for photos. They have to be lived.”
