Thank you to Penguin Teen for gifting me an ARC of Her Good Side in exchange for a review.
I adored this book! The relationship between Bethany and Jacob was cute and brought a smile to my face. Both characters experience character growth and learn about themselves, their relationship, and each other. They weren't afraid to have difficult or uncomfortable conversations with each other and built a friendship leading up to their real dating.
Rebekah Weatherspoon's portrayal of the Greene family was very authentic and heartwarming. Bethany's parents clearly love their daughter, but that doesn't mean they always make the best parenting decisions or know what she wants. Weatherspoon wrote a great book about body positivity and being happy and fat. She included a diverse cast of characters, including several ethnicity and queer identities.
This book brought me so much joy, and I can't wait to read it again! I look forward to reading more books by Weatherspoon in the YA genre!
