"Bea Schumacher is a leading fashion blogger, known for her warm, honest body-positive message. But after an unexpected heartbreak, Bea's confidence is shaken and she feels hopelessly alone. In the midst of her sadness (and some drunken internet rantings), she receives a surprising proposition: Would Bea like to be the first plus-size woman to star in the next season of reality dating competition sensation Main Squeeze? Against her better judgment, she accepts. The producers promise it will be the most diverse cast yet and a great opportunity to expand her brand. And while she knows she'll never find love, she might find distraction from her broken heart and inspire other plus-sized women to believe that they have a right to the spotlight too. But as the cameras roll, she is forced to face down judgement, ridicule, and expectations amidst over-the-top dates and international travel with a line-up of men who feel like fantasies (a sexy French chef, a sardonic professor, a playful younger man) as she ultimately discovers the truth behind the fairytale, and the reality of falling in love. In this witty, heartfelt debut, Kate Stayman-London shines a light on how the complex standards of female beauty affect how we define ourselves and who deserves to be seen...and loved"--

This was an interesting one, and I'm struggling to rate a little bit. I'm not super into reality TV and maybe having more context for the shows would've helped me as a reader, I'm not sure. I loved that we had a body-positive, fat woman looking for love, and saying "yes, I deserve love as much as everyone else" and being someone that others who look similar can see getting love. The friends and family were great, and the prose fun. That said, I had second hand embarrassment and bad feelings for so much of the dating portion because of how the some of the men treated her, I understood her hesitance to giving them a serious chance when there was no real reason to trust their motives. I didn't like how the romance played out and how key players acted at the end, but maybe that's just the drama of this type of show. I was rooting for her, but never for the romance, so I just was meh about the ending.

Wonderful Romance
This book was so good! I love Bea so much! I had such anxiety for her though! I could relate to her in so many levels. This was my first book by this author but it will not be my last.
