You Don't Need The Right Reasons To Read This Book!

   

Whether you've only watched a couple episodes of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, or you proudly consider yourself a member of Bachelor Nation, you will all enjoy Sean Lowe's brand new book "For the Right Reasons: America's Favorite Bachelor on Faith, Love, Marriage, and Why Nice Guys Finish First".

Sean Lowe is the fair haired Texan who got sent home after the overnight dates on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette. He later went on to be The Bachelor himself on the following season of the franchise. As of now, he is the only "Bachelor" to marry his betrothed, and is only one of a handful of couples who actually tied the knot after appearing on the show.

Released this past January, the title of the book first got me thinking that it would be a book about his faith specifically. But it's much more than that! Whether you are a Christian or not, it is a pleasant and interesting read. This 232 page read chronicles Sean's life growing up, to his experience with The Bachelor franchise, to his marriage to the recipient of his final rose, Catherine Giudici.

While the book does address his faith and how he applies it in his life, it is not a book about religion. The book contains all sorts of insider information, deleted scenes, and gets you in behind the cameras with plenty of interesting details on how they produce the show. It helps the reader get to know Sean on a whole different level, and chronicles his take on his seasons of both The Bachelorette, as well as The Bachelor. It also delves into his general successes and failures, as well as with his personal and relationship struggles that came with his fame and the opportunities that the notoriety presented. His time on Dancing With The Stars is a great example, and he does address his time on that show as well.

All in all, I enjoyed the book. I think it humanizes someone who we might think of as a character on a TV show. We can easily get caught up in the show, forgetting that these are real people, whether their portrayal on the show is or isn't an accurate depiction of them.

Take for example, Courtney Robertson who was on Ben Flajnik's season of The Bachelor. People were all over her. But after reading Courtney's book "I Didn't Come Here To Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain", I had a different perspective. It's not to say that she didn't do or say some of the things the show portrayed her to have done. But it does remind us that we are all human and capable of frailty, failure and success.

As with Courtney's book, I loved learning about what goes on behind the scenes, in addition to learning more about the author. Whether you grab this book at the local library or head on out to purchase it, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Happy reading!
