Personally, I really missed the spice.(we're dealing with a fade to black and pg13 vocabulary). 
It was still a sweet romance book and I liked that we were introduced to a lot of different characters with the story not only being about 'the couple' but I think even a little spice added could have made me ship them more...

I listened to the audio book and couldn’t stop. I’ve never been a fan of  The Batchelor or Bachelorette shows but I loved this book and that is what it was is about—finding love on a reality TV show. But it’s also so so much more than that! 

I loved the characters and loved to hate one in particular. Happy to have a career driven, fat protagonist who was not afraid to exist and speak up for herself; as well as all the LGBTQIA+ and POC characters. 

This book ticked so many boxes—sweet, romantic, funny, tearjerking, and heartwarming, with a couple of twists and turns along the way. I absolutely loved it!

This book is a very loose Cinderella retelling meets the Bachelor. Cindy just graduated with a degree in fashion but no job prospects. Some family connections helps land her on Before Midnight, where she’ll be competing with other girls for the mystery suitor’s affection. 

A cute twist on Cinderella. And I’m so glad that she loves her step mom and step sisters. When they were introduced I was afraid there would be something negative there, but their relationship is great. 

Story is fairly predictable, but that’s what I’m looking for when I read this type of book.
