Such an enjoyable, well-crafted read! The drama and plot twists kept me hooked, the prose sparkled with personality, and the characters were so lovable.
That being said: if you are looking for a romance so that you can root for a central couple, this is not the book for you. Overall, I wouldn’t say that’s a flaw in the writing—it comes with the territory when writing book about an alternate reality version of The Bachelor. By the end, though, I did find myself wishing for a bit more time with Bea and the man she ends up with in the end (especially given everything they went through on the show).
