À propos de cet audio
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Real love . . . as seen on TV. A plus-size bachelorette brings a fresh look to a reality show in this razor-sharp, “divinely witty” (Entertainment Weekly) debut.
“Effortlessly fun and clever . . . I found the tension impeccable . . . and that made my reading experience incredibly propulsive. Read it in a day and a half.”—Emily Henry, #1 bestselling author of Beach Read and The People We Meet on Vacation
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • Marie Claire • Mashable
Bea Schumacher is a devastatingly stylish plus-size fashion blogger who has amazing friends, a devoted family, legions of Insta followers—and a massively broken heart. Like the rest of America, Bea indulges in her weekly obsession: the hit reality show Main Squeeze. The fantasy dates! The kiss-off rejections! The surprising amount of guys named Chad! But Bea is sick and tired of the lack of body diversity on the show. Since when is being a size zero a prerequisite for getting engaged on television?
Just when Bea has sworn off dating altogether, she gets an intriguing call: Main Squeeze wants her to be its next star, surrounded by men vying for her affections. Bea agrees, on one condition—under no circumstances will she actually fall in love. She’s in this to supercharge her career, subvert harmful beauty standards, inspire women across America, and get a free hot air balloon ride. That’s it.
But when the cameras start rolling, Bea realizes things are more complicated than she anticipated. She’s in a whirlwind of sumptuous couture, Internet culture wars, sexy suitors, and an opportunity (or two, or five) to find messy, real-life love in the midst of a made-for-TV fairy tale. In this joyful, wickedly observant debut, Bea has to decide whether it might just be worth trusting these men—and herself—for a chance to live happily ever after.

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Beckett Langfield is grumpy, rich and hates kids. I’m an overworked, overstressed, and overweight single mom. The only reason we’re getting married is because he needs to fix a PR disaster and I am available. As in sitting next to him, in a bar, when he has this brilliant idea. Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

“[E]ffortlessly fun and clever . . . I found the tension impeccable . . . and that made my reading experience incredibly propulsive. Read it in a day and a half.”—Emily Henry, #1 bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation
“One to Watch is a fundamentally entertaining and uplifting book. . . . A powerful imagining of how reality TV could look . . . Stayman-London dismantles stubborn and destructive ideas about plus-size women: Namely, that they can’t be fashionable, popular, or successful. [Bea is] complex in a way that fictional plus-size characters often aren’t. . . . As the title makes clear, One to Watch is a book to watch.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

A beautiful and inclusive love story
I loved this book. The story which could have been overplayed or repetitive kept me coming back and the narrator did an excellent job with the different voices and maintaining an upbeat and very likeable reading.
This book hit so many notes of diversity and did a wonderful job of normalizing not only different body types but different experiences.
And if that doesn't matter to you, rest assured that the story itself was compelling and the characters were all well written. I could have used a bit more spice but it was sweet and really lovely.

enjoyable fluff
This was definitely not my usual! But fair and enjoyable for what it is. Surprising love story with rich-enough characters and a different, modern way to relate the story, using chats and blogs and a suite of outsider characters who help tell the story. I don't watch any such reality shows but thought I'd find the background telling to be oh Idk, insightful? I think it was. Having a young, heavy female in the lead was a nice twist. Recommend overall, just don't expect high lit.

Light fun
I liked this book, for a breezy light read, but it was not what I expected. I was drawn in by the audio clip, of the main character in Paris, finding herself. But the story was really about her run on a reality show, looking for love. It strengths were body positive messaging for plus size women, and a current vibe with her social media and blogging. But in the end, it was a mushy love story. Well written, well narrated, but mushy.

Takes a moment to catch but gripping
I throughly enjoyed the way this was styled and presented a show within a story within a book? Some sort of inception type set up and really well done. I was right there in the heat of the emotions as they came up. What a creative piece of work that touches on the very valid reality that many women go through. And of course the romance.

Entertaining
A great listen, the voice actor was wonderful and the story entertaining, but the story lost me a little with it's fat obsession. I understand that it was a key factor in the book, but I wish the author had explored Bea's positive mindset change more after all the constant self-hatred. I suppose it's more realistic that even towards the end of the book Bea was still doubting herself a little, but the never-ending thoughts started to infect my own mind and I caught myself worrying about my own body! And the way Bea thought about thin people was also a little hurtful, as she would regularly refer to them as "skinny bitches" - so no one is safe.
Aside from that, the book kept me hooked chapter after chapter, and it was a great little story to pass the time. It's got an element of reverse harem which I feel I would have enjoyed a bit more in a different novel. It also taught me to be more aware and sensitive of other people's bodies and mindsets, and ways to accommodate plus-size people so they never feel excluded the way Bea was.
TLDR; entertaining, but be warned about the focus on the body and negative mindsets
