This cover is absolutely adorable and jumps right at the reader. I love it!

What I Like About Me is a great book about body positivity and all the beauty dramas that come with summer. The story itself has been a bit too easy to predict but that honestly wasn't much of a problem this time as this book gives off a lot of summer and feel-good vibes. It's been an easy read and I really enjoyed the author's refreshing writing style. In my opinion. young readers (12+) should definitely read this book, especially if they're a little bit insecure about their body image.

The characters have been given a lot of thought and Maisie just pushed her way into my heart immediately. She's a great, loyal, loving, and kind friend. Her situation with Anna is a bit heartbreaking but I let you discover that part on your own.

What I Like About Me by Jenna Guillaume has most definitely been a reading highlight in 2020 for me and little Miss C is already eyeing it, too. I can highly recommend this story and am looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

this was the uplifting body positivity read I had no idea I needed ❤ I read this as an e-arc bit am now going out to buy a hard-copy for my shelf because OH. MY. GOD 😍

I'm not even a huge contemporary fan but this was stunning 💫 the novel is written in a diary format with the protagonist moving from general reluctance about having to write in a journal for the whole holidays to actually confiding in the diary like a friend. Thanks to this we also get closer and closer to our protagonist Maisie as she explores herself and builds relationships ❤

Beamer is just... SWOON. From the get go I loved his snark but sensitivity. All the characters have distinct, complex personalities and have a beautiful depth that makes them feel so real 💫

The plot is a beautiful journey of friendship, Romance, learning and self Love. It is a body positive, fun, bittersweet, heartwarming masterpiece and I love it beyond words ❤

Review will be live on socials last week of April.

This was such a cute, hilarious YA story that I could not put down.

It's written in a diary format, which I wasn't sure I'd like but I almost didn't even notice it by the end.

It also has a strong focus on body positivity which is very much needed in todays society. I found myself relating to the main character in so many ways that were raw and honest.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this E-book to review via Netgalley.
