**Thank you NetGalley for the free copy of this ARC in exchange for my honest review.**

This was an easy and cute read that I got through in one session. If you love reality shows like The Bachelor, Falling for The Suitor is set completely around a Canadian based version of the show. Whilst there were changes of the format to make this its own little world as well as perhaps more readable, I did find the concept matched well with what you come to expect from shows like this. There were enough characters to play the different types of people you run into on these shows to make a variety of reactions and situations as the book progressed. However, I did find this story to overall lack in anything that took it a further step and made this more than just the dating show concept. It was a fun read, and both Bexley and Grayson were likeable. Their connection was more told than shown, but the moments together were sweet and genuine. I liked that they both struggled with their instant connection within the show’s format, but it did get a little repetitive that Grayson had to be reminded that he had to put effort into all the girls equally instead of rushing towards Bexley every time. Whilst this did add a little angst to the plotline, it didn’t do enough to make the hardships of this book believable enough. As I said above, there was more telling than building up the relationship and storyline enough for the reader to find the experience realistic. I also struggled with the ending being far too rushed and neatly tied together in a bow, where attention dragged on some of the earlier parts of the story. Whilst it was still an enjoyable enough read, I feel the author could have focused more on some of the ideas they started but never fully followed through with, such as resolving the issue Grayson had around his father. It’s a shame because I could truly see the potential of what the author was attempting to do with this world but didn’t quite execute it enough. I believe this could make for an enjoyable read for many people who enjoy reality shows written into books.
