The epitome of a fun read! Multi-format story where there are email, text messaging and online forum text throughout the book that makes this an easy, quick read! I also enjoyed how each chapter is split into each “episode” of the Bachelorette-esque show the story is based off of. One of the biggest things I enjoyed about this book was pretty much most of the book, out of all the suiters the main character meets, you don’t know who she is going to choose til the end! It was like I was really watching a competition show. This was overall a great book!

This book was recommended to me because I like contemporary marriage of convenience. I think the person that recommended it missed the mark - but I'm not sorry I read it.

It was rather nice to read a plus sized female lead. There are too many size 0 females on covers of books and in movies and television. However, the reality television scene is definitely not my favorite and made it hard for me to love the book.

If you like reality television and are looking for more diversity in fiction though this is a good book.

Easy 5 stars!

I normally don't watch reality TV, but I was so hooked. The characters and the conversations felt so real.
Also, I normally don't like mixed medium (tweets and podcast in between), but in this story it made sense, and it was done in a creative way to convey conversation as well as the emotional context.

Anyway, very addicting, perfect for a buddy read!

Lighthearted contemporary fiction/romance is super far out of my comfort zone (i'm usually a plot heavy sci fi person), but I could not put this book down. It was addicting, it had twists and turns that had me literally gasping and I especially loved the main character, Bea. I also really loved the writing style, mainly because it nailed the way people communicate in 2020/2021. Loved it, my favorite read of the year so far.

Solid recommend for everyone that loves reality tv, romance stories or just a juicy fast paced adventure.
