One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
5.0

I CANNOT stress enough how much I LOVED this book! It sucks you right in from the beginning. And it uses unique ways of telling the stories from Slack messages and tweets to contracts, emails, and news articles. Also podcast transcripts and texts. UGHHHH it’s so brilliant! And the way it follows a fat woman as the romantic lead and then the imposter syndrome she has to overcome because we are not given any stories that allow fat women to be romantic leads!!! Of course I loved following along with the production of “Main Squeeze” (this novel’s version of The Bachelor) and had fun noticing Easter eggs to the show. THIS BOOK WAS SOOO GOOD! I’m so glad I finished it but also so sad it’s over. I just want to be Kate Stayman-London when I grow up. I really feel like this whole book was written just for me. Bea is my Main Squeeze!!!!
Would love to see the real bachelor franchise follow suit and have some body inclusivity!!!
