Real love .

as seen on TV.

A plus-size bachelorette brings a fresh look to a reality show in this delightful, razor-sharp debut.

Relatable, incredibly smart .

an extraordinary debut.

--Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date and The Proposal 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.
