2014

Synopsis from Goodreads:
Courtney Robertson joined season 16 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. Although she may have been there for all the right reasons, as the season unfolded and sparks began to fly something else was clear: She was not there to make friends.
Courtney Robertson joined season 16 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. Although she may have been there for all the right reasons, as the season unfolded and sparks began to fly something else was clear: She was not there to make friends.
Courtney quickly became one of the
biggest villains in Bachelor franchise history. She
unapologetically pursued her man, steamrolled her competition, and broke the
rules—including partaking in an illicit skinny-dip that sealed her proposal.
Now, after a very public breakup with her Bachelor, Ben Flajnik, Courtney opens
up and tells her own story—from her first loves to her first moments in the
limo. She dishes on life before, during, and after the Bachelor, including
Ben’s romantic proposal to her on a Swiss mountaintop and the tabloid frenzy
that continued after the cameras stopped rolling.
For the first time ever, a
former Bachelor contestant takes us along on her journey to
find love and reveals that “happily ever after” isn't always what it seems.
Complete with stories, tips, tricks, and advice from your favorite Bachelor
alumni, and filled with all the juicy details Courtney fans and foes alike want
to know, I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends is a
must-read for every member of Bachelor nation.
Review in Five:
1. The selling point as a Bachelor tell all is kind of misleading.
Only about half of the book is actually about Courtney’s time on The Bachelor.
Also kind of funny is that it is explicitly stated that The Bachelor
people operate with a ‘what happens in Vegas’ modus operandi when it come to not revealing details about each other to outsiders (non-Bachelor cast members). But, frequently people are outed for hookups etc.
(which let’s be honest – us Bachelor fans are reading to find out more of that what you didn’t know stuff).
