One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
5.0
WOW. This is it, people. This is FANTASTIC.
But let me start at the beginning: I absolutely love and adore when plus-sized girls get features in books. I do. As one myself, I always love to see myself in characters, you know?
BUT HOT DAMN: Never have I related so much as I did to Bea. She is plus-plus size. By that I mean that often, there is a girl in books and she's plus sized but you wouldn't know at ALL if you weren't told. But Bea? Her experiences? Her struggles with people and clothes and all of that? YES. 100% agree.
And then, this book didn't just give me a fantastic, fabulous, lovely, showstopping protagonist to adore, but she also got all the love. I loved laughing and crying and doubting these men with Bea because again - her doubts and issues? Way too real. But I loved it. The main characters are absolute darlings and I was so torn between the top guys. I couldn't put this book down because I couldn't have chosen between them, honest to god.
I did not see either the end of the show or the end of the book coming but oh my god, both made me so, so happy.
So please, if you guys read one book this year, make it this one.
