If you are a fan of the bachelor, then this book is for you!

One thing I loved about this book was the way that they spoke about mental health disorders.

Trigger warning: Talks about depression and anxiety mostly because both characters struggle with one of these each.

It was cute I would recommend.

it’s an adorable romance set to the backdrop of a bachelor style reality show with mental illness representation, what more could I possibly ask for?

I loved this book! I enjoyed the LGBTQ representation and the exploration of mental health and adversity. 
I also enjoyed the character arcs within the novel. While not always the most stylist writing the story was fast paced fun and enjoyable. The book was easy to read and exciting. 
I will be recommending this to friends

A gay romance on the set of a heteronormative bacheloresque TV show. I was definitely more invested in the reality TV backdrop of the book than the main characters, though some of the side characters were fun. Mental illness was handled well, and I appreciated the attention to different sexualities.
