Something about the presentation of the book (the cover? The blurb? The title?) made this look FUN. 
 ...It's not. 
 This is far more "real". And that's like getting vanilla when you ordered double chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles. The ad had sprinkles and it gave me a craving. I wanted ridiculous pageant drama, not angsty love triangle drama, ya know? 
 That does not make it bad book, though I'm not sure it's one I would have picked up had I know better. This was simply a mismatch (mixed with a touch of false advertisement). And I LOVE the diversity, but I couldn't say I clicked with the characters or felt anything for the romance. 
 BUT. I'm still grateful for the existence of this book. It has the power to give big girls out there hope - to show them that they are beautiful and that there is a demand for diversity. We want more of them for our main characters. She deserves the screen time and the spotlight. 
 Keep them coming, authors.
