A BIG #1 for Bachelorette #1!!

Jennifer O' Connell has done it again! With Bachelorette #1 she has opened a "whole new can of worms," presenting readers with an insight into the mind of Sarah Holmes- wife, mother, writer, and newly found woman! This book was awesome!! It was impossible to put down and i found myself wanting to continue reading and see what the next page would hold for Ms. Sarah Divine. The writing is excellent and the story line continuously entertaining. It's a book that carries its readers to places they never imagine being but always wish to be. It's a must have read and a guarantee to entertain!!

Easy and Entertaining

When searching for a book to read, I seek books that are simple and easy entertainment, an escape if you will. Well, this book Bachelorette #1 is just that. I became captivated by the characters in the book and found them all very engaging. I was completely engrossed with the main character, her life, her story and her choices. Even if you are not a fan of the TV show, you will still enjoy this book. The author Jennifer O'Connell, kept me interested from the first to the very last page.

Great Concept, Great Read!

Even if you're not a fan of reality television, you'll like this book. It's funny, touching, and has a lot to say about love, marriage, and children. When O'Connell writes about the "currency" of saying "I love you" and about attraction, it's really good -- a helpful reminder for those of us who are married. Great concept and a great read.

Chick lit number one!

Reality TV shows have become a household name among cable television. It doesn't surprise me that there are novels based on the aforementioned ubiquitous programs out there. At first, I thought Jennifer O'Connell's Bachelorette Number One was a satire on The Bachelor. It isn't. It's so much better than that!Sarah Holmes is an undercover journalist for Femme magazine, doing an expose about The Stag - a show where desperate single women look for love and, inevitably, rejection on national television. Older, wiser and with much more perspective than the hopeful candidates on the show, Sarah sees it all with a cynical eye. As the show progresses, however, Sarah becomes competitive, wanting to snag the sexy bachelor before the others get a chance to charm him. The tables are turned and things don't turn out the way she'd anticipated. To make matters worse, Sarah has a loving husband and toddler child back home in the suburbs. Does she want to give up her marriage in favor of the romance and luxury The Stag provides? There are various fun twists and surprises throughout the novel.The writing is sharp, the dialogue is crisp and the novel is fast-paced fun. I couldn't keep it down and found myself not wanting to let go of Sarah's fantasy world crashing with reality. Jennifer O'Connell has crafted a fun novel to read in one sitting. Are novels based on Reality TV programs increasing? Yes. Are they worth reading? Well, Bachelorette Number One is definitely worth giving a whirl. Highly recommended...

A Must Read....I Can't Stop Talking About It!

As Jennifer O'Connell's first publishing, I was impressed with her ability to keep me on the edge of my seat for the entire book! I was amazed at how I was actually starting to believe this was a "real behind the scenes" story...It's that captivating! This would make a great Chick Flick! One element of the book's plot that I love the most is how Sarah and her husband rekindle the spark that brought them together in the first place which was somehow lost through focusing on their careers and raising a child.
