Everly’s dream is coming true. She’s just been chosen to be on her favorite makeover show, On the Plus Side; her crush at work is paying even more attention to her; and she’s starting to feel more confident already. As the production starts to unfold and she realizes her goals may be different than she thought, she finds an unlikely friendship with Logan, the show’s cameraman. Feelings for herself, and Logan, continue to evolve and develop among the challenges and hitches in the show’s production.
I really loved Everly’s representation. As a plus size woman, I really related to her complicated relationship with her mother, and her lack of confidence in putting herself out there. I also really liked that it wasn’t simply “hot guy pays attention to the fat girl.” There was a lot more to Logan than appearances, and he had his own self-conscious moments. I wish that a show like this existed for real!
Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for an advanced copy of this book!
