Average rating4.5
Millions of devoted fans of ABC's massive reality hit The Bachelor tune in each week find out which lucky woman will win the heart of America's most desirable single. But what happens in the fantasy suite doesn't always stay in the fantasy suite. For the first time ever, a former Bachelor contestant offers up an insider look at the love, heartbreak, and reality behind reality television. Courtney Robertson joined season sixteen of The Bachelor looking for love. A working model and newly single, Courtney fit the casting call: she was young, beautiful, and a natural in front of the cameras. But as her bachelor, winery owner Ben Flajnik, was unveiled and the season unfolded, something else was also clear'she was not there to make friends. Courtney quickly became the biggest villain in Bachelor franchise history. She unapologetically pursued her man, steamrolled her competition, and broke the rules'including an illicit skinny-dip that sealed her proposal. Now, after a very public breakup with Ben, Courtney opens up about what really happened'from her first moments in the limo, to her proposal on a Swiss mountain top, to the tabloid frenzy that continued after the cameras stopped rolling. Dubbed "one of the most controversial contestants" ever, Courtney dishes on fellow alums in Bachelor Nation and explains why most relationships implode after the final rose. Filled with all the juicy details fans want about the mansion, the gowns, the sexy beach dates, the dramatic rose ceremonies, the helicopter rides, and more, I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends is a must read for every Bachelor fan.

hahahaa I totally loved this book, even though (or because?) I have never seen the Bachelor.

I should feel ashamed of myself for reading this book (and supporting this reality TV “villain”), but I am not. It was a delicious treat that rotted my brain while I tanned on a beautiful Saskatchewan summer day. I don't care what parts were real or whether or not Courtney was a reliable narrator; I gobbled it up in one sitting. Most Bachelor and Bachelorette fans will get a kick out of this so long as they don't have impeccable morals. And let's face it, if you watch The Bachelor you don't have a right to be overly self-righteous. ;)
