Ratings and reviews

I restarted watching The Bachelor coincidentally for Ben's season. With nothing to do one day, I remember watching all the girls introduction hearing everyone talk about wanting to marry their best friends and rolling my eyes. My exact thoughts were could these women be more pathetic, then in comes Courtney with the catch phrase I'd never forget "screw her and the horse she rode in on" about Lindzi. After that line I was sold and unlike the rest of America I loved and was rooting for her to win. I found her humor refreshing and honest especially on that cliched filled show of desperate husband hunters. So naturally this book was a dream to me, especially since she was so candid with all the behind the scene details. I followed their relationship and even the juicy hook up with Arie (I find him to especially appealing hell I would hook up with him if given the chance too). This was a quick read and gives detailed knowledge of the unfolding of the relationship. I loved it, twas a fun read, and it only increased my love for Courtney more.

Courtney u had my eyes glued to the book from beginning to end! They made you out to be a villain but they couldn't be more wrong! You are beautiful, strong, caring, open, honest, funny n love sex!! Lol These are the many reasons I love you! We will probably never meet but good luck on your quest for a GOOD Man n never settle for less than u deserve! In the meantime enjoy life n do everything your heart desires!! Lots of love from SC!!!

I really enjoyed this book. I, admittedly, was not a fan of Courtney during The Bachelor. Since learning what she went thru and hearing her side of the story I now think I might be her biggest fan.
