Let me first say that On The Plus Side took me, wrapped me around its little pinky finger, and had me whooped with the awesomeness that flowed off of these pages. Tabatha Vargo created pure brilliance when she put together this superb and mind blowing tale. I kid you not, it has been over a week since I have finished this book and I am still reeling from how much I LOVED this book.
Ok, ok...time for me to move on in my thoughts. I will definitely let you know closer to the end just how much this Let me first say that On The Plus Side took me, wrapped me around its little pinky finger, and had me whooped with the awesomeness that flowed off of these pages.

Ok, ok...time for me to move on in my thoughts. I will definitely let you know closer to the end just how much this book truly ROCKED...*throws hands in air* Yes, I am moving on...
*Sighs* So, where do I begin. I guess let me say that I really connected with this book. Being the chubby girl that I am, I always struggled with self-esteem issues and whatnot...so, hearing her story told brought out feelings that helped me identify with her on many levels. She has such a heart of gold, causing you to instantly feel protective of her. But, don't let the soft side of Lilly fool you. Through all of her battles, we happen upon a strong, beautiful, confident woman. And so starts the journey that is called On The Plus Side.
Lilly, who has resigned to be alone the rest of her life, longing for love, gets the shock of her life when the hot and sexy Devin Michaels struts in to the jewelry store that she is working at. AND...hold the presses...he begins flirting with her...Of course Lilly is a bit taken back with someone as the likes of Devin flirting, but hey, might as well enjoy the fun...
It's not until she takes her break and has lunch at her everyday spot that things really take the turn on this story...Yep, that's right...Devin pops up and WHAM---They now have plans for a date on Friday.
So, what is so intriguing about this tale you may ask?? Not everything is as it seems. This begins the many conflicts and interesting twists that ultimately pull at your heart strings, moments that leave you panting from the heat caused by Lilly and Devin together, and momentous occasions of joy where watching these two people grow throughout this book warms your heart.
I am not going to lie...I fell hard for Devin Michaels. Just because he has this tough exterior and gorgeous looks, doesn't mean that his heart is cold as ice. Following him through every scene, hearing his inner thoughts, causes you to swoon and melt...completely loosing yourself to him...You can definitely understand how Lilly felt and how fighting an attraction like that is just plum crazy....
But, since I have truly rambled on and on...I want to sum up by saying that this is not a book you want to pass by. Wonderfully written with well developed characters while all the while keeping you in suspense wondering...Will they get their HEA?
All I can answer to that is....READ THIS FABULOUS BOOK!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
