NATIONAL BESTSELLER * Real love . . . as seen on TV. A plus-size bachelorette brings a fresh look&nbsp;to&nbsp;a reality show in this&nbsp;razor-sharp, "thoroughly charming" (Hillary Clinton)&nbsp;debut. "Relatable, incredibly smart . . . an extraordinary debut."--Jasmine Guillory,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;The Wedding Date&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Proposal NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time * NPR * Marie Claire&nbsp;* 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.
