One of My Most Anticipated 2025 Book Releases' Cover Reveal is Today and You Need to See This Cover

Cover Reveal for Love at Full Tilt by Jenny L. Howe

Nov 04, 2024

When I heard about the opportunity to sign up to be part of Jenny L. Howe’s hype team and help reveal the cover for her 2025 YA debut, I happily signed up.

Howe was one of the first authors I’ve discovered when I started doing book content creation back in 2022 and she has quickly became one of my favorite authors. It was so easy to find myself in the characters that Howe writes and it just warms my heart to plus-size girls like me get the happily ever after we deserve in Howe’s books. And now more people will be introduced to Howe and her wonderful writing when her YA debut novel, Love at Full Tilt, comes out on July 22nd, 2025.

So, without further ado…

Here’s the official cover reveal for Love at Full Tilt…

Blue, pink, and purple drawing of an amusement park (with a carousel at the center that has people lined up around it, and a castle and ferris wheel stretching up into the sky behind it). In the foreground are two people (also in an illustrated style). One is a tall, white teenage boy with light brown hair, blue eyes, and a strong jaw. His skin is tan and he is wearing a reddish-pink shirt, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers. He holds a book with a blue cover in his hand and has a yellow pin on his shirt. He is glancing over at the teenaged girl beside him in interest. The girl is shorter than him, her skin is pale white, and she has long, wavy dark-brown hair and blue eyes with long lashes. She has round cheeks, full pink lips, and a round, plus-size body and is wearing pink shorts, blue and pink sandals, and a blue cropped halter top with white and yellow flowers. There’s a yellow pin on her shirt, and she is glancing over her shoulder, looking flirtatiously at the boy. Over their heads the title of the book, LOVE AT FULL TILT, sweeps by in white letters (Love at is blocky with pink accents, Full tilt is cursive with blue accents) and below the characters reads the author’s name (Jenny L. Howe) in blue block letters. At the top of the cover, in dark blue font is a blurb from Ali Hazelwood that reads “I’ll read anything Jenny L. Howe writes!”

Isn’t it just GORGEOUS! From the pastels aesthetic to the signature of artwork from illustrator Leni Kauffman, I love absolutely everything about this book cover.

Of course, I know there are some of you out there that want to know more about the book besides its pretty cover before adding it to your TBRs, so check out the official book blurb and some tropes to see (or just to prove) that it’s the right book for you.

Book Description

This joyful celebration of fandoms, theme parks, whirlwind romance, and plus-size girls follows eighteen-year-old Lia, who's determined to win an epic scavenger hunt at a world-renowned theme park—until rival contestant Mason upends her plans and sends her heart careening off the tracks.

Most high-school seniors look forward to graduation and everything that comes after, but Lia Baker just wishes time would stand still. In a few months, while her best friends will be heading off to college, Lia will be stuck at home, buried under the pressure of a full-time job and her mother’s anxiety—or so she thinks, until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is suddenly within reach.

When Lia lands a highly coveted spot in an exclusive 50th-anniversary scavenger hunt at Fableland, she seizes the chance to finally have an adventure of her own. But it's much more than just a vacation to Lia; the contest winner will receive a cash prize, one that Lia plans to use to move out of her parents' house, get a job at Fableland, and eventually pitch her story about a plus-size princess. It's a golden ticket into her dream world—and a way to help create that dream for others.

With her extensive Fableland knowledge at her fingertips, there’s no way she won’t win. Especially once she meets Mason—a cute rival contestant who wants to team up to decipher the scavenger hunt’s daily clues. But as her time at Fableland ticks away too quickly, Lia realizes that she will have to choose between the future she wants to rewrite—and a love she hadn’t planned for.
