*A New York Times Bestseller*

The first definitive, unauthorized, behind-the-scenes cultural history of the Bachelor franchise, America's favorite guilty pleasure.

For sixteen years and thirty-six seasons, the Bachelor franchise has been a mainstay in American TV viewers' lives. Since it premiered in 2002, the show's popularity and relevance have only grown--more than eight million viewers tuned in to see the conclusion of the most recent season of The Bachelor.

Los Angeles Times journalist Amy Kaufman is a proud member of Bachelor Nation and has a long history with the franchise--ABC even banned her from attending show events after her coverage of the program got a little too real for its liking. She has interviewed dozens of producers, contestants, and celebrity fans to give readers never-before-told details of the show's inner workings: what it's like to be trapped in the mansion "bubble"; dark, juicy tales of producer manipulation; and revelations about the alcohol-fueled debauchery that occurs long before the Fantasy Suite.

Kaufman also explores what our fascination means, culturally: what the show says about the way we view so-called ideal suitors; our subconscious yearning for fairy-tale romance; and how this enduring television show has shaped society's feelings about love, marriage, and feminism by appealing to a marriage plot that's as old as the best of Jane Austen.

It will make you smile
Format: Kindle
Just an all around pleasant read. I enjoyed the interplay between the two main characters and watching their relationship evolve. There was never a doubt about where the story was headed, and that's ok. Happy endings are a good thing!

Fun, joy filled, quick read
Format: Kindle
This story brings together people who need to evaluate where they want to go in life and they are surprised to find that they don’t need to go far to find fulfillment, a great place to live, and a great person as a partner. This is a sweet, quick read to bring hope and joy in the holiday season as the two protagonists end up helping a whole town while finding themselves.

A nice story
Format: Kindle
I liked enough to read the book all the way through. It was a really slow burn without even a kiss till the last few pages. It seemed to be a sort of contrived Christmas magic story and not a real romance. I wouldn't read it again.

fantastic story

I’d give this book 5 stars but it has no epilogue. Which sucked did they get married have kids anything but it’s always disappointing when there is no epilogue 😢

It takes a community
Format: Kindle
A beautiful depiction of Celeste and Natalie’s journey to discovering their true purpose. Natalie began as a thorn in Celeste’s side and ended up being her true soul mate. I loved Celeste’s family tradition of feeding those less fortunate. One recipient’s, Sean, life was transformed into a productive and joyful one. It was beautiful. You could see Celeste’s heart, even though she tried to keep it secluded behind walls. Natalie brought the joy of the holiday spirit to Celeste and once she acquiesced to supporting Natalie’s vision, it was transformative in the entire community. A very good, sweet read. I unequivocally, heartily, and enthusiastically recommend this and any other works by TB Markinson and Miranda MacLeod. I own most of them and have never been disappointed. Thank you Peace
