I was on the fence when I first heard about this book..,
As weird as this is going to sound..I was on the fence when I first heard about this book and read the title. I am a chubby girl myself but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read about one..and it be a love interest because I wasn’t sure if it would come off as believable and real to me. I know, I know..criticise me if you must but I’m just trying to be honest. Maybe it was my own self consciousness peeking through..I don’t know. But anyway, I am involved in a type of book club group and many of the girls that I follow in the group were giving the book raving reviews so I figured what the hell..might as well try it myself..and it didn’t hurt that the male lead devin michaels was definite eye candy.
I must say..I was so very wrong. This book was extremely passionate and the realness emanated off of the pages. I loved the chemistry that Lilly and Devin share. Their love is beautiful and unique. I feel more beautiful being above average weight..and that I may actually find my prince charming out their someday. I fell head over heels in love with both Devin Michaels..bad boy turned mushyyyy sweetheart and the beautiful and confident Lilly. I loved the character development throughout the story..especially that of the evil ice queen-mother. She really grew and I hope that if these characters are shown in another book..it shows that the relationship with the mother has great into a great one because it seems that she really feels guilty and may actually act like a good mother.
I already foresee a second book coming on..involving a certain redhead and another notorious but sexy playboy?
I guess only time will tell..but I know that I will most definitely be waiting in line for it.
Tabatha, you did an amazing job at telling this story. I love the characters and I loved the ending. I cannot wait to read more of your work.
I give this book 4 stars. I hope to write a more lengthy and detailed review on my review website as I don’t want to give any spoilers here. I would recommend this book, without a doubt. <3

|A Realistic Story,
I loved this book from beginning to end! It was impossible not love Lilly. She was so sweet and relatable. Devin, was… oh Devin. I have no words. I loved him and how much he grew and changed throughout the book. By the end, he was an entirely different person. I love when you read a book and you can see how much the characters change. It makes the story realistic, because people really DO change. Lilly and Devin’s story really touched me, it’s one I’ll be revisiting again, and again. I can’t wait to read more in the Chubby Girl Chronicles.

|Plus sized love!,
I loved On The Plus Side. As a plus sized girl myself this book spoke volumes. Everything that Lilly felt is a real fear that most plus size girls feel. Tabatha puts a lot into her books including some of herself and you can definately see it come through with On The Plus Side. I would recommend this book to anyone and would read it again. If you are looking for a book that makes you laugh, cry, and gets a lil naughty then On The Plus Side is for you. Enjoy…I did!
