Oh this was SO lovely. I loved Charlie and Dev's journey, I was so hooked once I got into it. Having watched some seasons of the Bachelor, the setting was easy to picture, and Alison really nailed the drama from the rest of the contestants lol. Once I started reading this book, I honestly couldn't put it down, I was so invested. I really appreciated how Alison didn't shy away from talking about sexuality, privilege, and even touched on racism as well. I loved how we learned a lot about the secondary and tertiary characters too, and how everyone kind of had their own journey with Charlie and Dev.
