Currently Reading in Our Plus Size Book Club: Only for the Week
Oh, this one? This is the kind of story that knows exactly what it’s doing and does it with a smirk.
Only for the Week drops us into a perfectly messy, deliciously complicated situation: a fake relationship that is very much not supposed to feel real… and yet. What starts as a short-term arrangement, emphasis on short, quickly spirals into lingering looks, blurred lines, and the kind of tension that refuses to stay politely contained.
Our leading lady is smart, guarded, and absolutely not here to catch feelings. Our leading man? Equal parts charm and trouble, with just enough vulnerability to make you lean in closer than you planned. Together, they serve banter, heat, and emotional whiplash in the best way possible.
This is a story about proximity doing what proximity does best, forcing two people to confront what they want versus what they said they’d allow themselves. It’s flirty, it’s a little chaotic, and it absolutely understands that sometimes the most dangerous words in the English language are “just for now.”
Come for the fake dating. Stay for the slow unraveling, the tension you can practically feel in your chest, and the realization that a week is more than enough time to change everything.
We’re reading this together right now, so whether you’re halfway through or just cracking the spine, you’re right on time.

For Authors, Publishers, and Brands
The TCF Book Club is more than a reading list; it’s a growing plus size book club and community of readers who care about representation, storytelling, and culture.
