Reviews with content warning for Cancer - If the Shoe Fits

I really enjoyed this! Definitely recommend for bachelor fans or anyone who has also read “When to Watch” this was a very fun read! My only complaint is that a lot of the writing e.g. adjectives used, phrases spoken and even dialogue was really repetitive that kind of drove me nuts! I might have missed it i wasn’t reading it on audio. I would definitely recommend the audiobook for a solo road-trip !!

This was such a cute book. Nothing showstopping, but it was enjoyable. I appreciated the diverse cast and the fun setting. At times it really felt like it was taken straight out of an episode of The Bachelor. Overall relaxing read to pass the time.

Look, it’s not a literary masterpiece but it’s also not trying to be. The characters all have limited personalities that are easily boiled down to tropes similar to those typically seen on shows like The Bachelor and the logistics of a reality dating show airing essentially in real time make very little sense but everything from the airport meet cute to the final line made my heart happy so I’m willing to overlook it.

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!
