What Not to Wear and Queer Eye meet All the Feels in this sparkling romantic comedy by Jenny L. Howe, in which the new guest on a popular plus-size makeover show has her style—and her love life—transformed.
Everly Winters is perfectly happy to navigate life like a good neutral paint color: appreciated but unnoticed. That's why she's still a receptionist instead of exploring a career in art, why she lurks but never posts on the forums for her favorite makeover show, On the Plus Side, and why she's crushing so hard on her forever-unattainable co-worker. When no one notices you, they can't reject you or insist you're too much.
This plan is working perfectly until someone secretly nominates Everly for the next season of On the Plus Side. Overwhelmed by the show's extremely extroverted hosts and how much time she'll have to spend on screen, she finds comfort in a surprising friendship with the grumpy but kind cameraman, Logan. Soon Everly realizes that he's someone she doesn't mind being noticed by. In fact, she might even like it.
But when their growing connection is caught on camera, it sends the show's ratings into a frenzy. Learning to embrace all of herself on national TV is hard enough; can Everly risk heartbreak with the whole world watching?

When the hosts of her favorite TV show turn up in her office with cameras rolling, Everly Winters' life changes. The makeover show, On the Plus Side, is designed to help people realize their dreams. Everly has been told she is ""too much;"" her body is too big, her laugh too loud, so she has tried to become unnoticeable. She works as the receptionist for a PR firm even though she is a terrific artist. Her super-hot, flirtatious coworker, James, frequently relies on her ideas for his designs. The show's host focuses on her and James, but her real dream is to move up to graphic designer, create tattoos, and showcase her art at the Cape Cod Collective. Plaid-clad Logan, the grouchy lumbersexual camera operator, is big, sexy, and kind. When the show turns unsavory, Everly rebels. Folks standing up for what is right always makes for a good story, and the friendship-to-love relationship between Everly and Logan is fun and fulfilling. For fans of All the Feels (2021) by Olivia Dade, and Curves for Days (2023), by Laura Moher.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
