The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV
by Colton Underwood
Came for the Bachelor gossip, left feeling pretty scummy about Colton.
I'm surprised that Colton comes off as arrogant as he does here, given that this is his own book. There are a lot of small moments I could point to that made me lose respect for him (the brush-off of the #MeToo movement is one that jumps to mind). But where I really lost him was in his discussions of Cassie during The Bachelor filming. It felt like he was blaming her for everything that went down in the season with their relationship, when it seemed like a lot of her insecurities etc came from her past relationships and the process of being on The Bachelor itself...
Anyway, it's a quick, light read if you're into The Bachelor and want to learn slightly more than we already know about Colton and the franchise. But it's by no means groundbreaking.
