A review by overthinking_bibliophile
On the Plus Side by Jenny L. Howe

5.0

This might very well be my new favorite contemporary romance. I have never felt so seen by an author before. Thank you, Jenny, for this. I needed this book to remember that I matter and I am enough the way I am. Everly and Logan touched my heart and made a permanent residence there. 

On The Plus Side talks about fat phobia, expectations from plus sized people and how we forget to not hide our magic, how we might at times need the right push to remember our worth, how our family's and friend's reactions to possibly small things matter a lot and how it might change our overview about ourselves. We don't need you to continuously tell us that we are fat and  "should" to behave a certain way. We are aware of our own bodies, thank you, and we love it the way it is. Now, don't come at me saying, we do all that so you'll be healthy. Yes, health is important, and fat people can also be healthy. Our size doesn't define our health. 

 Jenny does all this in her book, but in a way that is not overwhelming. There's humor, amazing banter between characters AND there's Logan, the perfect boyfriend. Logan shows us how good communication is so important in a relationship. The way he treats Everly is something every guy should learn from. I so hope people of all sizes read this funny, flirty, educative romantic comedy. 

Here are my reasons why you should read this:

♡ You like reading about self-love and acceptance. 
♡ You like reality makeover TV shows.
♡ You like grumpy x sunshine.
♡ You like plus-size positive romance.
♡ You need a reminder that you are amazing the way you are.
