There's a lot to appreciate about this one, not least of all the exploration of fatphobia and body positivity in the media and beyond, but it did not sell me on reality dating shows. That's on me, I knew going in that this book is styled on The Bachelorette, and I decided to take a chance on a premise that didn't quite fit my taste in hopes of some great characterization, and that at least I did get. It's also a lot of fun guessing who'll be kicked off the show at which point, and seeing a glimpse of the fandom that brings so many people together is a glorious thing to behold. I had some issues with the ethics of reality dating shows in general and the romance tropes involved here just don't fit my personal preferences, but I was aware of the premise beforehand and had a great time reading even if the setup wasn't quite a perfect fit for me.
