I did enjoy this book. However, there were a lot of things I didn't love about this book.
I will say however, that one of the main criticisms of this book is not one I agree with. I don't think that Bea was overly insecure or untrusting. I feel like her feelings were totally realistic and I really could empathize with her. I mean, that would be a hard situation to be in when you're dating 25 different "Adonis" type men and being plus-sized and hearing EVERYONE'S thoughts about it. And then on top of that, having to parse through your insecurities and inner thoughts. I mean, I could only imagine.
I did see who she ended up with from the beginning, but I liked it nonetheless.

one part involves people threatening to sexually assault bea in a descriptive way but only happens for a short amount of time. fatphobia is very present throughout the book to show that it's wrong but it's very explicit. there's a sex scene that i skipped over so i'm not sure how graphic it was. infidelity is a big part of the plot multiple timeslucyatoz's review

This book pulled me in, I can tell you! It had just the right balance of romance with real life struggles, to tug at the heartstrings. I really felt for Bea as she navigates meeting 25 men on the reality show, Main Squeeze, narrowing them down to just her chosen 3, all the while wondering if the man of her dreams has dashed her chance at her own happily ever after.
