Review Quotes
"Fresh, fun, and extremely sexy. Set on You is a romance of unexpected depth."--Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart Principle "Just the right dose of delicious steam. Amy Lea has crafted an ode to all of us who struggle with self-acceptance while remaining determined to love ourselves."--Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis "Set on You is energetic, steamy, bubbly, and so, so fun. But more than that, it's also a hugely important book that celebrates body positivity in the most joyous way possible."--Jesse Q. Sutanto, author of Dial A for Aunties "Set on You is an incredibly fun and sexy slow burn, enemies-to-lovers rom-com that had me invested from the first page. And in between all the steamy and swoony scenes, there's also a thoughtful exploration of body positivity and the true meaning of loving yourself."--Kerry Winfrey, author of Very Sincerely Yours "Set on You is the best kind of workout: one that ups your heart rate with its swoony hero, makes you sweat with its slow-burn tension, and leaves you satisfied with its themes of empowerment and self-acceptance. With a fresh, hilarious voice and a deeply relatable protagonist, this romantic comedy is enemies-to-lovers gold."--Rachel Lynn Solomon, national bestselling author of The Ex Talk "Set on You is a swoony delight full of wit, charm, and Big Firefighter Energy. Lea gives romance readers everything they could possibly want in a rom-com, while deftly weaving important issues like race and body acceptance in a way that steals nothing from the entertaining ride. Authentic and full-of-heart, this book is a must-read for fans of Helen Hoang and Sally Thorne."--Lynn Painter, author of Mr. Wrong Number "Set on You is the lighthearted, sweet, and sexy book you've been waiting for. Lea's delightful debut is a funny and poignant look into the power and perils of social media and the strength required to be vulnerable. Set On You beautifully captures the free-falling elation of realizing the person you can't stand is the person you can't stand to be without and the chemistry between Scott and Crystal sizzles. The gym has never seemed such a sexy and romantic place as in this book!"--Denise Williams, author of How to Fail at Flirting
"Amy Lea's debut Set on You is a swoony, feel-good romcom in its finest form. The prose is comforting as a hug, and the main character Crystal is a certified badass. Lea crafts a sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and poignant enemies-to-lovers romance between two lovable gym rats in the age of social media with boldness and honesty."--Sarah Echavarre Smith, author of On Location "A fantastic debut! You'll want to spend lots of time with Crystal and Scott (and their scorching chemistry!). Amy Lea has a great voice, and I look forward to whatever she writes next."--Jackie Lau, author of Donut Fall in Love "This book's appealing characters and gym-bound setting will resonate with anyone who's ever mentally cursed a fellow gym-goer for failing to wipe down the machine post-use."--USA Today "Lea's steamy debut romance features well-developed, likeable characters with slow-build chemistry...Hand this one to fans of Helen Hoang and Talia Hibbert."--Library Journal "Lea debuts with a heartwarming rom-com centered on body positivity...Lea's prose is clear, witty, and powerful, delivering an ode to all those who struggle with self-acceptance...Lea is a writer to watch."--Publishers Weekly "Lea's debut romance is a terrific rom-com that offers an essential message about accepting oneself, and it is a pleasure to read...Fans of Jennifer Weiner may enjoy this, and all who read it will look forward to more romance from Lea."--Booklist

Crystal Chen is ready to break the silence on what society deems “ideal and perfect”. As a curvy fitness influencer, she wants to promote body positivity and self-love. Show others that she is strong and capable no matter her size, race, or gender. As a certified personal trainer, Crystal knows how powerful she can be. Her loyal clients, fitness newbies, and even the gym-rat-frat-bros love her! She is one with her gym and knows all the best spots for optimal recording and overall exercise enjoyment. It must have been a freak accident when a new face decided to steal her favorite squat rack and refuse to move when she had already claimed her place. Crystal would make sure the Squat Rack Theif would rue the day he crossed her! Hunky firefighter Scottie Ritchie is the new kid at the gym, dropping in and creating chaos right away. He got a new gym membership and a new gym nemesis all in one day! Over time, the jabs between Scottie and Crystal escalate… little do they know that the gym isn’t their only connection. When Scottie is running late for his grandfather's engagement party, the last thing he expects is to find himself seated next to his new enemy. Sparks will fly and memories will be made as these enemies turn into something a little better. First time reading a nemesis to lovers and I was excited! I dropped a star because this book had me all over the place mentally. The overall message and the evolution of characters at the end are great. The representation of a curvy and biracial character was awesome to read too. Also, you can’t help but kind of fall in love with Scottie. What I didn’t love was how certain parts of this read were very frustrating. I found Crystal to be very selfish and/or childish at times and was always happy when Mel and/or Tara stepped in to knock some sense into her. There are a lot of side characters with specific quirks that help you decipher who is who throughout the book which is a big plus. Overall there were a lot of up and down for me. The ending though made it all worth it! Loved the very last chunk of the book and felt very pleased with how it flowed. Good book, but be prepared to want to put it down or throw it from time to time.
Great read

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gosh y’all — Amy’s debut RomCom just hit. every. mark. There’s sweet, sexy, heartfelt, hilarious, swoooooony.. I couldn’t get enough of Crystal and Scott! Their steamy enemies to lovers romance kept me up reading late into the night and thinking about the story when I wasn’t reading it.
