One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London

 Bea is a successful fashion blogger and a plus size woman who has been unlucky in love. She gets chosen to be the first plus-size star of a Bachelorette-type dating show called Main Squeeze. When her "suitors" start showing up, she is dismayed to see that most of them are hunks, some of whom are equally dismayed to see that she is not at all what they were expecting. And some of them are downright rude. That, along with the (female!) producer putting her in numerous embarrassing situations has Bea ready to wash her hands of the whole thing. (And she doesn't even have access to the internet, to see the horrible things the trolls are saying about her.) But a group of the guys--Wyatt, Asher, Sam, and Luc--genuinely like Bea and ask her to stay and consider them as romantic partners. However, after a lifetime of being unlucky in love, she has a hard time trusting them or herself.

While there are a few very funny scenes, a lot of this book was kind of painful to read. I did have to admire Bea's persistence and pluck, and was hoping she would find a good guy who appreciated her.
