Fans of the popular reality show The Bachelor will love this inside look into the drama that happens both on and off camera. Courtney Robertson, winner of Season 16, tells the story of her journey before, during, and after the show. Besides a small portion of the book devoted to her childhood, successful modeling career, and some famous ex-boyfriends, the majority of the book discusses her experience on The Bachelor and her heartbreak afterward. She certainly doesn’t hold back when talking about her past relationships, the other contestants on the show, or Ben, the Bachelor. As evidenced on the show, Courtney has no problem saying exactly what she feels regardless of who may get hurt in the process and this attitude definitely carries over into her book. She may be offensive to some at times, but at least she seems to be honest about her feelings.
This book was extremely hard for me to put down, and I found it funny, interesting, and a little bit irritating all at the same time. Although Courtney wasn’t able to change my mind about her entirely, I felt like I could understand her a little better than I did before. I may not be one of her biggest fans, but I truly did enjoy reading about the many ups and downs of becoming a reality television star.
