A review by beckyray14
One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
I didn't finish this book, i put it down at around 50% so take that into consideration when reading this review and spoilers will follow.
So the problem with this book I felt like Bea was not a person I would want to get to know. So much of this book is her projecting confidence about her body and how it doesnt define her. Which i wholeheartedly agree with. I love a plus size positive book. But then she participates in cheating with her friend. Like who sleeps with someone who is already engaged?! That for me was strike 1.
Then she joins the Bachelorette TV show and the entire time is like 'no one will like me because I'm fat." Which was so annoying. Like the whole point is that she is a fashionable, confident, gorgeous woman. but then for the majority of 50% of the book shes woe is me, i'm plus sized and no one will love me because of it.
As a fellow plus sized girl this is just something that I have no desire to read. And it was this that really put me off the book. Any one who does show interest in her on the dating show she assumes their being rude to her or making fun of her and its just exhausting.
