4.75 stars // *** minor spoilers *** (they’re really small ) //
Phuu, where do I begin?
This book had me bawling my eyes out this weekend because of how accurate some of Bea’s thoughts translate to my own life! That’s why I probably could not give this anything less than a 4.75 rating.
Yes, there are scenes that were a bit over the top – its a book about a reality show after all . Yes, a few things were quite predictable, and I would have liked to read another ending as the point would have come across just as well without the engagement at the end. But as I said, Bea was just too relatable for me to give this anything less than 4.75 stars.
Maybe it’s also because I read it in a phase in my life where I can deal with it and really grapple with the thoughts and all the advice that is given.
I LOVED how we really get to know Bea with all her strengths and insecurities, and how she gets an arc. Of course, the end paints everything very pink and flowery yet I don’t think that she’s perfect, and she doesn’t need to be. But I enjoyed reading how she overcame some of her insecurities and self-deprecating thoughts.
I hope for anyone in this world that they can cancel out all the mean comments etc. by people in their lives (this one guy in the story still grinds my geers! ) and find a person like some of the contestants in their life - IF that is something they want :-)
You are worthy of being loved!
One of my most favourite quotes:
„No, Beatrice, it’s the hardest thing in the world. To have been that hurt, to feel that afraid, and to know that the only way you can be really, fully happy is to risk going through it all again? It’s a terrifying choice to make.“
