Now Accepting Roses: Finding Myself While Searching for the One . . . and Other Lessons I Learned from the Bachelor
By Amanda Stanton

”When Amanda found out her mother had sent in an application to ABC’s The Bachelor on her behalf, she wasn’t upset . . . but she was hesitant.”
-
5 Star: “I love everything Bachelor and have always been a fan of Amanda so I really enjoyed reading this. Although I am disappointed that she gave no explanation to her break up with Bobby. I was looking forward to reading about him and their relationship the most!”
-
1 Star: “There were random whole chapters devoted to things like suitcase packing and eyelash extensions and how to exercise while on expensive vacations, how her “career” as a “social media influencer” keeps her both flush with cash and free shit, and I kept having to scroll through, assuming this woman was just copying and pasting from her Instagram account maybe because who would want to read this?”
Who’s it for? People interested in the influencer lifestyle but with no pressing questions about what happened with Bobby.
