Every book published by members of The Bachelor franchise

In between their drama-riddled, extravagantly planned quests for love, many of the most notable contestants on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette (not to mention funkier spin-offs such as Bachelor in Paradise or Bachelor Winter Games) have added the title “author” to their lower-third chyron. We’ve gathered all of their memoirs, cookbooks, novels, and self-help guides here, but unfortunately, we don’t have any roses. (And if you’re still craving more, you can pre-order the upcoming juicy behind-the-scenes book, Bachelor Nation, here.)

Jen Schefft refused to settle for less than she deserved — even if that meant disappointing millions of television viewers. Although she initially accepted Bachelor Andrew Firestone’s proposal, the two split six months later, leaving her free to lead season 3 of The Bachelorette. However, that proved to be a dead end as well when she became the first and only bachelorette to reject marriage proposals from both of her final two suitors. The backlash she received for her decisions inspired this guide to loving yourself while navigating a relationship-obsessed world.

Note: It appears that Schefft’s self-love attracted the love she’d been searching for. The year after this book’s release, she married Joe Waterman. They’re raising two daughters in Ohio.
