One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
4.0

My sweet spot these days is feminist romance like this story of a fat woman starring on a fictionalized version of The Bachelorette. Bea is a fashion blogger/influencer who drunkenly rants about the lack of body type diversity on the waning in popularity dating show Main Squeeze. When she wakes up the next day, her post has gone viral, and Main Squeeze is on its way to its worst season every, ratings wise.

Cut to a new showrunner and a new lead for Main Squeeze. Despite her clarity in text and pixels, it turns out Bea is still vulnerable to how she's perceived by men, so her reality TV journey has some bumps. Other major characters include asshole ex, a Latine best friend, and a sexed up Frenchman, not to mention Bea's often disappointing producer, Lauren.

It's a fun, fast read with narrative elements that include texts, Slack conversations, Twitter transcripts, and news excerpts.
