Jenny L Howe is an American writer of contemporary romantic fiction. She is known for her stories, set in both academic and everyday settings, with themes that explore relationships. Her notable works include The Make-Up Test (2022), On the Plus Side (2023), How to Get a Life in Ten Dates (2024) and Love at Full Tilt (2025).
Jenny L Howe began writing in junior high. She used black and white composition books and neon pens. These early efforts marked the beginning of her interest in storytelling, which continued throughout her school years.
In college, Jenny chose to study literature and went on to complete a PhD in the subject. During her doctoral work, Jenny Howe studied medieval romances. She described them as bizarre and entertaining. This period shaped her academic interests and exposure to narrative traditions. The focus on medieval material influenced later teaching and writing work.
After finishing her studies, Howe began an academic career. She became a professor and taught courses in college writing, literature and children’s media. The teaching role placed her among students and in line with current reading trends. Alongside academic life, Jenny Howe remained engaged in hobbies. These include cross-stitching, jigsaw puzzles, and caring for rescue dogs Tucker and Dale. Howe has noted that she takes many photographs of them.
Her first published novel was The Make-Up Test (2022). The story follows two former partners who compete for a position in a doctoral programme. The lead character, Allison Avery, faces academic pressure, a complicated relationship history, and rivalry with a former boyfriend. The narrative explores ambition and emotional change during postgraduate study.
On the Plus Side (2023) followed as a further development of Howe’s work. It continues themes of personal growth and relationships with a focus on romantic tension. Its plot centres on challenges in academic and social environments, though specific details of its storyline are not in the source description.
Next novel, How to Get a Life in Ten Dates (2024), features Haleigh Berkshire. The character, who is plus-size and disillusioned with dating, agrees to attend a series of dates organised by friends and relatives. Long-standing feelings for her friend Jack form part of the narrative. The story examines expectations, attraction and outcomes within a structured dating plan. The plot develops through the re-emergence of old feelings and the reconsideration of friendship boundaries.
Love at Full Tilt (2025) introduces Lia Baker. The book revolves around a scavenger hunt in a theme park called Fableland. Lia faces an upcoming separation from friends and pressure from family. She wins a place in a competition marking the park’s anniversary and meets Mason, a fellow competitor. The story follows their cooperation and her changing plans for the future. The tension lies between independence and unexpected romantic interest.
