kezerus's review against another edition
1. Slept with an ENGAGED guy and is meant to be the lovable mc?? She's the "good guy" in this situation because he doesn't text her back so aka doesn't treat her how she deserves?? Sorry wtf, this can't be glossed over as sympathy points, towards Her? Lol
2. Pacing really weird - slept with said taken guy in first 5%, then we have her moping about it for six months, and the competition doesn't start until 25% into the book
3. Seemed to have a more anti-men stance rather than one of feminism - this book is meant to be empowering towards women - that doesn't mean every woman must hate every man due to the latter being misogynistic pigs, as refers to similiarly in the book. There's a difference, and hating on men (as a collective, which includes the guys who havnt shown any sign of being a dickhead) is Not something I like used as a way to gather woman together and use as the reason women should be united
4. I was so looking forward to a book showing a plus size woman love her body, and control her destiny to be a role model to women who need it in the world - but her entire identity was how she felt about her body, which might've been the point and future development I guess. I just felt Bea's whole world was her weight, as apposed to the book being about her showing she is so much More than that, which is a shame.

I read this last year and omg I loved it. As a curvy content creator, this book represented the experience of being in a larger body online/in the public eye SO well. All my curvy girls - this is a MUST READ.

This book was a 2.5 stars for me. I was very excited to read a book with a plus size main character as a plus size woman myself, and though I did find the book overall enjoyable there were a lot of things that didn’t sit well with me in the book. First I wish that it started closer to her actually going on the show I found myself skipping chapters in the beginning trying to be interested. The main character, Bea, also sleeps with a married man in the beginning and the only thing that she’s upset about is the fact that he left and didn’t get in touch with her. Of course this also follows through towards the end of the competition after she is turned down by two of her competitors agrees to jump into bed with luc. I also wish that their was more self love involved. However, the story was overall enjoyable and included a lot of diversity which was much appreciated

Enjoyed the bachelorette show idea being more inclusive. I can definitely relate to the mentality of I’m not good enough for the more attractive society. Definitely enjoyable to read.

At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, but once the show started and we got to see Bea start some serious growth it was a fun experience. Nice to see an asexual character in the mix. Her relationship with the series producer wasn't entirely believable but the romance was fun and it's good to see a plus size woman whose whole story isn't about changing her weight.
