In Every Way


Review: In Every Way - Book #2 In Plain Sight - Amy Sparling - September 2016

In Book #1 we had Maddie and Colby and now in Book #2 In Every Way, we have Maddie's friend Bess and Colby's friend, JoshBess has always been a big girl and after a bully made fun of her in middle school and called her "Bess the Cow," she became so self-conscious of her weight and her looks. It's hard too as her grandmother loves her food and is biggish too. If only Bess had her grandmother's confidence in that "Big is Beautiful," she would realize that she is a stunning young woman. Summer is here, and school is over, Bess has just graduated and was hoping to spend her summer with her new friend Maddie except Maddie has gone jet-setting to Spain with her family and boyfriend Colby. Bess gets a job working for her Grandmother's friend Julie in her shop on the Beach strip.  Julie can see that Bess needs help with her confidence and sends her down the strip to her friend's store where she gets a mini clothes makeover which compliments her curves.  Later this leads to her being accidentally hit in the head by a football which is how she encounters Josh.  Josh wants a girlfriend but lately is finding everyone a bit crazy as they are too obsessed with their looks, what they eat and their cellphones. He wants somebody who is "real" and a genuinely nice person, and it seems that he has found that someone with Bess.  Bess can't believe that someone like Josh would want a "fat cow" like her and starts to think he is playing a trick on her. Can Josh prove to her that he likes her? What will happen though when they head to a party together, and Bess discovers one of Josh's friends is none other than Bryce - the bully who made her life miserable.  I have to say; I loved the character of Josh as he loved Bess for who she was and stood up to Bryce ( who BTW I hated with a vengeance) Amy Sparling had written the character Josh as a genuinely nice guy who for most is a rare quality. 
Though this book was a slower read for me, I really loved the characters of Bess and Josh as they were both genuine people and also the author showed that you don't have to be a thin model and beautifully to stun on the outside to get an awesome guy as being beautiful on the inside counts for 100 of those stunning, gorgeous model girls.
