3.5
I can't really figure out my feelings on this book. I honestly think it is closer to a 3.5 rating for me.
I struggled with the fact that there were only 4 female characters, and one becomes the villain... why do we keep needing storylines like this? But I think my biggest issue is that none of these characters felt fully developed to me. Even the main characters. And there wasn't really any character growth? I think I just had higher expectations for this book that weren't met... which is okay!
It has some fantastic moments. If you are a fan of any of the Bachelor- type shows, definitely recommend reading this one. It felt exactly like when I used to watch a season when I was younger!
