Autor Kate Stayman-Londonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2020
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time - NPR - Marie Claire - Mashable - "Divinely witty and engrossing . . . Grade: A"--Entertainment Weekly 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.

Recenzii
A fast, furious read, one that is brimming with wit but also packs a serious punch. The compelling narrator-Bea Schumacher-won my heart immediately, and Stayman-London's storytelling sizzles
One to Watch drew me in from the first chapter; this book was relatable, incredibly smart and thoughtful about body image and the way the media treats women, and just plain entertaining. I adored this extraordinary debut and had so much fun reading it!
Bea Schumacher is an irresistible heroine, and One to Watch will win you over just as quickly. Its clever skewering of reality TV tropes is balanced by a sweet sincerity and a real belief in true romance. The Bachelor should be so lucky as to land a Bea of its own
A delicious and whip-smart page-turner about the complication of being a complicated woman in the world today
One to Watch is a powerful story about the love we have for ourselves and others. It's a vibrant, tender, stylish, sexy, and outrageously joyful book, and I couldn't bear to put it down for one second
Stayman-London's charming debut is chatty and fun, brilliantly capturing the highs, lows, and drama of reality TV. . . . This smart, delightful page-turner is a great way for dating show fans to pass the time while waiting for the next season.
It is hot. It is sweet. A lot of it is Bea just figuring out how to be a vulnerable human being. It's so deeply satisfying and great...I'm pretty sure it is actually the best rom-com I've ever read
Fans of The Bachelor will love this summer beach read
Just know that if you have ever felt insecure or ashamed of your body in dating experiences, this book will stand out to you. It was a five-star read.... A women's fiction book centered on the issues many plus-size women deal with dating and truly just existing...This book really made me believe that I could find love as a plus-size woman. Or at the very least, it made me want to believe it could happen and actually made me want to try.
If you watch The Bachelor, this book is the takedown we've all been waiting for, and Stayman-London is hardly subtle about it, which I love.... Fun, sexy, and full of heart, you'll devour this book in a day.
Stayman-London's debut is a smart, pop culture-aware update to the romance novel... One to Watch is a novel that succeeds in finding a tone light enough to qualify it as an exceptional summer read, while also imparting a message substantial enough that you'll want to take it into the next season.
The best rom-com I've read in a while... real and raw and very clever... Overall score: A+
Timely, refreshing and delightful, you'll be rooting for Bea throughout her journey of self-love, drama and romance.
Funny, emotional, romantic yet realistic - this book has it all.... this is a smart novel written by a smart woman.
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.
Divinely witty and engrossing... Grade: A-
