A review by katewylie7
One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.
This book is supposed to normalise bigger bodies and show that having a plus size FMC dies not have to be unusual.
However I found that not only is the FMC the furthest thing from body neutral, but the author has used that as a plot point and really is the main storyline of the book.
It is filled with damaging, hurtful stereotypes and out of date thinking that could be very damaging to anyone reading this who has not had experience with this subject.
An interesting premise for a book but sadly, poorly executed.
