A review by feogofjuly76
More Than by Diane Barnes

4.0

More Than was a thoroughly enjoyable read. What I appreciated most was that our plus-size main character evolved slowly and her changes became more about finding her own happiness rather than improving for someone else's view of her. It was also refreshing to have her weight loss journey take place in a healthy and sustained way as opposed to books in which transformations happen more rapidly and on a greater scale. There was just enough whimsy in the pursuit of a message from beyond the veil from her deceased husband to keep the book light, not frivolously so, and the resolution of the story was perfectly balanced. Could this be a beach read? Absolutely. However, it also has the teeth to be a friendly book club offering and a book that I have spent time thinking about throughout the days since reading it.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
