More satire, less romance

One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London

February 1, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

While technically a romance, ONE TO WATCH by Kate Staymon-London is really more of a satire based on reality dating shows. I mean, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just that I found the actual romance of the story to be the least interesting thing about it. Bea Schumacher is a plus-sized beauty and fashion blogger.

A romance where the best part isn’t the romance. #CBRBingo – Book Club

One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London

September 28, 2020 by narfna 3 Comments
