penleguin 's review for:

One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
4.0

Sweet and earnest, this heartfelt romance follows Bea, a plus-size fashion blogger who, after posting a drunken blog entry denouncing reality dating shows, is invited to be the main contestant on the next one. The ensuing whirlwind romances with the contestants are a ton of fun to experience vicariously through Bea, but brace yourself for some pretty awful fatphobia as she deals with trolls online and shitty men in the show.

Cw: fatphobia (repeated and egregious), sexual assault (mentioned, off-page)
