A review by anastasiaeleni
One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
Did not finish book.
I can’t. I just can’t.
Those 17 odd pages were a waste of my daily morning reading routine.
I’ve discovered that I do like the Bachelor/ Bachelorette Reality TV trope, but if you’re writing about a plus sized woman at 30– DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE portray her as an advocate and influencer for plus sized woman, and give her insecurities about her body.
As a 24 yr old woman who struggles with chronic obesity, I hate it. I like how I look, my insecurities come from a medical POV.
It’s supposed to be a romance— not a YA contemporary/ coming of age. Give her some fucking confidence instead of having her pine for a guy who cheats on his fiancé.
