內容介紹

希拉蕊·柯林頓在IG上,向她的470萬名關注者「推薦看本書」,並附上購買連結,大力稱讚「真正迷人的突破!」

 

在這部尖銳犀利且「真切迷人」的首部小說中,一位大尺碼的單身女郎為真人秀帶來了新鮮的視角。

 

比婭·舒曼雪(Bea Schumacher)是一位超級有型的大尺碼時尚部落客作家,她擁有很棒的朋友,忠實的家人,大批的IG追隨者,以及一副沈重破碎的心。與其他美國人一樣,比婭也沉迷於每週的狂熱中:熱門真人秀節目《Main Squeeze唯一情人》。幻想的約會!拒絕接吻!汗牛充棟的假掰男!但是,比婭已經厭煩節目中對女性身材想像的單一樣貌。究竟從什麼時候開始,尺寸纖細零號成了上電視的先決條件?

 

就在比婭宣誓不再約會的同時,她接到了一個有趣的電話:真人秀《Main Squeeze唯一情人》邀請她成為下一個來賓明星,被爭奪她的男人們圍繞著。比婭在一個條件下同意了——那就是她絕對不會真正墜入愛河。她參加節目是為自己的事業充電,顛覆對人有害的美感標準,激勵全美國的女人,還有,免費乘坐熱氣球而已。僅此而已!

 

但是,當攝影機開播時,比婭意識到事情比她預期的還要複雜。她身處在高級時裝、網路文化大戰、性感求婚者的華麗旋風中,有機會(兩次?五次?)在電視臺製作的童話故事中尋找混亂、現實生活的愛情。在這場既歡樂又邪惡的首演中,比婭必須決定她能否信任這些男人,包括她自己,然後從此過著幸福快樂的日子。

書評

“Thoroughly charming”—Hillary Clinton



“[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



“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.”—Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, bestselling authors of The Royal We and The Heir Affair



“A delicious and whip-smart page-turner about the complication of being a complicated woman in the world today.”—Jo Piazza, bestselling author of Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win



“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.”—Hannah Orenstein, author of Love at First Like



“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.”—Fiona Davis, nationally bestselling author of The Chelsea Girls



“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!”—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Date and The Proposal



“Bea’s journey shines a bright spotlight on the treatment of plus-size women in fashion, entertainment, and social media, but the character shows beautifully that women are more than their dress sizes. Creative, intelligent, and vulnerable, Bea brings depth and emotion to a story purposely set in a shallow environment. Whether readers loathe or adore reality TV, this unconventional love story deserves the final rose.”—Shelf Awareness



“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.”—Publishers Weekly
