Andi Dorfman - The Bachelorette 10 - Discussion - #6

I don't think she'll care that much about reviews as long as the book sells. I wonder if she'll join Courtney as a NYT best seller.

Amazon ratings

Emily, Sean, Trista 4.5 stars

Courtney, Melissa 4 stars

Andi 2.5 stars

Andi's going to need to reinvent herself or go back to law. Her stint as a writer in this genre is OVER JMO

The reviews seem heavily slanted against her IMO.

I wonder if the reviews are based on the quality of writing or the topics themselves ?

I'm curious, did you read the book?

Bought it and read it. Not a 5 star read, I would give it probably 3,5. But after I saw the witch hunt of Amazon reviews, I went with 5.

 The fact that anyone is giving this a five star rating just to counter the negative reviews (or vice versa) is the problem here IMO.  People should give the book a rating (2,3 or 4 stars are options too) based on it's content and writing, not on whether they want to help (or hurt) the author.

I have legitimate reasons for thinking this was a terrible book. It didn't flow well, was poorly written, too many expletives, and the misrepresentations and hypocrisy throughout.  I feel justified giving it a terrible review. It falls in the category of worst books I've read.  To give it five stars would mean that you think it's one of the best books you've ever read. If people really think this is the case, that just makes me sad for them.

For me it's not about the writing style it's about the disrespect she showed #1,#25, #26. I don't follow JPG, Josh, Nick closely but I don't think any of them have said despicable things about Andi. She's the ultimate mean girl JMO

^ Josh has said things on Periscope but nothing like she has written.

This entire turn of events is very sad. She is sad. As a person. Hopefully her book tanks in sales and she gets egg on her face.

I didn't realize Josh had spoken publicly as I haven't been following him/her that much.  Do you think Andi is trying to get her story out before his show airs in June?  If the book was that poorly written and somewhat erratic  (per amazon reviews), I am surprised the book publisher would publish as is.

I think he's back to subtweeting her... He retweeted Forbes

Genuine people treat everyone with respect because they believe they’re no better than them. onforb.es/23WrtRm

I don't know how many on here have actually read or listened to her entire book, but here's a fe more things that irritate me with how she contradicted herself.

She reminisces about her past relationships and talks about how respectful and what great guys her college and law school boyfriends were, but that she ended things because  the spark she was looking for just wasn't there. Then several chapters later she starts ranting about how her college boyfriend cheated on her by having  sex with a girl and how that is true cheating (vs. #26's girlfriend of a year kissing another guy, which Andi didn't consider really cheating and minimized #26's hurt and insecurity because of it).  Point being, she goes from saying her college boyfriend was so great and respectful to saying he cheated on her. Kind of a contradiction , right?  

There are so many more where that came from.
