There were some great parts, the dialogue was good and the message was unique. Though at the end it became a little predictable and I wanted it to finish.

i picked this book up because I wanted a good plus size rep, and here I am feeling frustrated with the main character.

Everything I want in a chicklit:

* DrAmA (but not too heavy)
* Colorful cast of characters
* Heartwarming end

Also, this is much better than *actually* watching reality t.v., which preys on people's vulnerabilities and emotions, whereas this is entirely realistic without any second-hand embarrassment. :')

Eu estava a gostar tanto deste livro que o último terço me deixou ainda mais chateada.
Se eu tivesse que fazer uma review numa frase seria... "You had Chris Evan on the roster and chose someone else... GURL" 

Eu gostei bastante dos primeiros 2/3 desde livro como uma ávida espectadora de The Bachelor e todas as suas spinoffs I ATE THIS UP mas a forma como a Bee acaba com alguém que nunca realmente luta por ela irrita-me profundamente... Simplesmente mostrar algumas das coisas que eu odeio nestes reality shows não faz com que deixe de as odiar. Também achei que a maioria dos pretendentes não foi desenvolvido o suficiente e isto inclui a sua escolha final... Gostava que tivéssemos mais um ou dois ... Vêm eu conheços tão mal que bem me lembro do nome do rapaz que gostava mas pronto the next main squeeze. Mais alguns rapazes genuínos que gostavam da Bee. 
Also acho que ultrapassamos way to fast a plot line da produtora dormir com um dos concorrentes. E depois é okay porque ela é mulher e os homens também o fazem DAFUQ.

4 ⭐️ This was so fun! I felt like the behind the scenes nature of bachelorette felt more realistic than others that I’ve read. And I loved that there wasn’t an obvious winner/endgame guy for her from the very beginning. Made it way more fun to be along for the ride. I’m glad they didn’t downplay how violent fatphobia on the internet and in general can be. Bea was such a fun main character and the storyline sucks you in just like reality tv.
