It was rather nice to read a plus sized female lead. There are too many size 0 females on covers of books and in movies and television. However, the reality television scene is definitely not my favorite and made it hard for me to love the book.
If you like reality television and are looking for more diversity in fiction though this is a good book.

I normally don't watch reality TV, but I was so hooked. The characters and the conversations felt so real.
Also, I normally don't like mixed medium (tweets and podcast in between), but in this story it made sense, and it was done in a creative way to convey conversation as well as the emotional context.
Anyway, very addicting, perfect for a buddy read!

Strangely there was a moment where I felt very exposed by the author, I go into more details in the spoilers but let's just say I am more familiar with some of the date locations and got to vicariously live some of my own fantasies. The second half of this book felt like I was reading something else, the pace picked up dramatically and I began to invest in the romantic interests and their relationships with Bea. My thoughts on the ending are in the spoilers.

If you’re looking for an escapist rom com featuring a fat woman, this is not the book.
It’s certainly relatable, in terms of how Bea feels about her body, and it’s very emotional -I viscerally felt every instance of fatphobia and body shame so do with that what you will.
Somewhat emotionally fulfilling. And there are many many good funny moments. Enjoyable for the most part, even if it wasn’t what I was looking for.
