I didn’t necessarily have a problem with Madi as a main character, but she felt like an average YA female main character to me. What I mean is, I wished that it had included more character development and also more depth with all the characters. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it had dived a little deeper and was a little more descriptive and also a little meaty. And I wouldn’t mind reading another book about the two. Although, I wanted Cole and Madi to end up together, I would have liked a little more character development intertwined before the “I love you.” Nevertheless, I thought their banter was cute and funny. The Wrong Bachelor did lean too far in to instalove lane for me. And also, her apology in the end did not feel authentic at all. It felt unnecessary, and I get that the author included it so that it did eliminate another love interest, but I would have rather it not be in the book.Īnother problem I had was the characterization of the “mean girl.” It felt very stereotypically and predictable. One being the disclosure of a secret in the competition. Some of the activities involved in the competition were cute. It seemed very farfetched, but it didn’t cloud my judgement of the book. Especially one that is going to televised on the school’s website. I’m not quite sure what high school would encourage their students to participate in The Bachelor style dating competition. However, the prize is the arrogant Cole Kingston Madison’s enemy.Īlthough the competition was interesting, it was very unrealistic. The competition is designed to raise money for charity, which is a plus.

The premise of the book is that Madison (Madi) is unwillingly chosen to be a contestant in a dating competition for her high school. And I found myself entertained for the majority of the book. It was actually quite cute in some parts. The Wrong Bachelor was not a terrible book.
