Review: ONE TO WATCH

One to WatchOne to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bea is a plus-size fashion blogger who, after writing a post critiquing Main Squeeze (a Bachelor-inspired reality show) and its lack of body diversity, finds herself the show's new star.

If you've ever watched The Bachelor in any of its iterations, you know what to expect: fairytale dates, jealousy, drama. But Kate Stayman-London gives us a refreshing take on the dating show, both by putting a plus-size woman in the leading role and by making Bea different from the Bachelorette stereotype. She *gasp!* WEARS PANTS to a cocktail party! Her sharp wit is always on display, and I loved following her ups and downs.

The supporting cast is also incredibly diverse, which was amazing to see. The format also included emails, Twitter and text threads, and podcast transcripts, which was such a fun and real way to tell the story. If you want a book you will clutch to your chest with love after you finish, read ONE TO WATCH!
