If you like the show The Bachelor then this is a must-read. I personally don’t care for the show but still really enjoyed this book about a plus-size fashion blogger who becomes the star of a reality show called “Main Squeeze” which is similar to The Bachelor. This is a great poolside read and easy to get lost in. I liked the body positivity and the perspective of what it’s like to be in plus size and the expectations society pushes on women. I also liked how the book had a mix of stories, episo

I burnt myself out on horror and thriller novels and I don't typically read things like this anymore. It was everything I needed! Its light-hearted fun brain-fluff.
I really loved the premise of the dating show (most dating shows are a guilty pleasure for me, but I have never watched an episode of the Bachelor/ette in its entirety). It made for an awesome fun-factor. I also loved Allison, Marin, and the final three of men.
My setback here is honestly Bea. There were scenes where I just flat-out didn't like her, honestly. I didn't like how she would present as such a self-assured individual but be nasty and honestly almost aggressive when her insecurities would take over. I liked Bea at the end better than any other version of her.
