This book was cute, emotional, interesting And utterly ridiculous all mixed into one.
I don’t like “The Bachelor” but this was so much better that I didn’t mind the element of the story (especially when you consider no rose ceremony or the other silliness that normally comes with the show).
The banter and characters were fun, and the world was interesting. One minor irritation was that some of the world building felt a little too delayed and I was left to just skim over some things and hoping it eventually got explained (it did - things like the number system).
It surprised me how much I enjoyed this book, and I’m very glad.
Content: Some tame but intense romance scenes
