Oh my goodness this book was precious. Low heat but full of tender moments. Cindy is dealing with a big life transition from school and facing her grief over the death of her father. Henry is just trying to help save his business. These two cuties end up on a bachelor-esque dating show after a meet cute on the plane ride from New York to LA.

I love that even though this is a retelling of the Cinderella story that Cindy’s stepmom and stepsisters are really really kind to her. They have a genuine relationship and I loved that.

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!
