On the Plus Side by Jenny L. Howe
4.0
Thank you St Martins Press for the review copy of On the Plus Side by Jenny L Howe. This would be a great read for fans of the Charm Offensive and One to Watch, it was a fun combination for me of those two books while still being it's own story. I really enjoyed this book and what worked for me other than the general themes of body acceptance was that this book really was about Everly's own self-growth and confidence, how finding "your people" who are your genuine cheerleaders, who see you, can be transformative.
I also loved the chemistry with Logan, the secondary characters with Everly's friends and OTPS mentors, and I appreciated the blending of art and creativity with Everyl's story (her work, her goals, her ways of expressing herself, of connecting with people who understood her). There are some nice notes on grief as well that are nice depth without weighing the story down.
