Biography

Jenny L. Howe

Jenny L. Howe first started scribbling stories into black-and-white composition notebooks with neon pink pens when she was in junior high and never really stopped. In college, she decided to turn her love of books into a career by pursuing a Ph.D. in literature, where she spent the next few years studying bizarre and entertaining medieval romances. Now, as a professor, she teaches courses in college writing, literature and children’s media. When she’s not writing and teaching, Jenny spends her time buried under puzzle pieces, cross-stitching her favorite characters, and taking too many pictures of her rescue dogs, Tucker and Dale. She is the author of THE MAKE-UP TEST and ON THE PLUS SIDE.

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. But then someone secretly nominates Everly for the next season of “On the Plus Side.” Overwhelmed by the show’s extremely extroverted hosts, 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. But when their growing connection is caught on camera, it sends the show’s ratings into a frenzy. Can Everly risk heartbreak with the whole world watching?
