The Final Rose by Eliza Lentzski

I expected something very tropey which read like fanfiction and boy I was not disappointed. I've read several stories with this 'plot' and trope before so I knew I would like it. However I haven't read it before with OC's which I loved a lot. The MC is a Native American from Canada and she is sexually fluid which is so cool. Essentially her mother signs her up to be on the bachelor because she went to a psychic and they told her she was going to fall in love on tv. She does and instead of it being the actual bachelor Jacob which was awesome btw scared of insects, listened to Nokomis, she kept him on his toes, she was real with him. All the date ideas were great from laser tag, fishing, coat ride, helicopters all of it was so cool and exactly like the show tbh.
A girl who is Nokomis room mate is sarcastic, funny and basically is rooting for Noko from day 1 helping her win Jacob's heart helping her out with the rules do's and don't. They get on great and in the end she takes the fall for Noko and tells Jacob about another girl being horrible and gets sent home.
Lee captures Noko's heart. It's not straight away it was gradual. We learn more about her, they bond. They chat by the pool, she cares, asks about Noko's family, her history, her language and they become close. I loved their first kiss and the scenes of them sneaking out together. How comfortable and touchy they were with each other. It was so sweet, the hesitancy and uncertainty after they kissed ahh. In the end Noko get's sent home as she didn't kiss Jacob and blew her chances with him as she loves Lee. Lee rushes to Noko's hotel room as she is eliminated and things happen, I really loved how Lee was confident and but then was hesitant like hey er I haven't been with a girl before so ???. Lee then left and went back to the show and Jacob.
Noko went home and watched it all on TV, she assumed that was it, all over. Lee got down to the final two people and declined the ring Jacob presented her. She turned up outside Noko's house with cameras causing all the angst. They fight, run away and really need to talk. Once they talk and realise hey we both want the same thing it was perfect.
The epilogue reunion was so cute, how happy Jacob was for them and how he got back with his ex girlfriend, how they were engaged and just adorable. The reunion between Noko and her room mate was amusing but I'm glad it ended happy for the majority.
A fast paced fun read, I am always down for some lgbt+ tropey story okay!
