The Bachelor meets Gilmore Girls in this laugh-out-loud young adult romance about a girl who joins her mother on a reality dating show for single parents-only to fall for a contestant' s son. Cara Hawn' s life fell apart after her father cheated on her mother and got remarried to a woman Cara can' t stand. When Cara accidentally posts a rant about her father online, it goes viral-and catches the attention of the TV producers behind a new reality dating show for single parent families. The next thing Cara and her mother know, they' ve been cast as leads on the show and are whisked away to sunny Key West where they' re asked to narrow a field of suitors and their kids down to one winning pair. All of this is outside of Cara' s comfort zone, from the meddling producers to the camera-hungry contestants, especially as Cara and her mother begin to clash on which suitors are worth keeping around. And then comes Connor. As the son of a contestant, Connor is decidedly off-limits. Except that he doesn' t fit in with the cutthroat atmosphere in all the same ways as Cara, and she can' t get him out of her head. Now Cara must juggle her growing feelings while dodging the cameras and helping her mom pick a bachelor they both love, or else risk fracturing their family even more for the sake of ratings. Maybe there' s a reason most people don' t date on TV.
"Bethany Mangle writes with a fresh, fun voice and an excellently deadpan sense of humor. All The Right Reasons made my Bachelor-loving heart very happy. " -- Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow "Never have I rooted so hard for such a wonderful mother and daughter relationship! Julia and Cara are absolutely adorable and real and I love them so much! This is one of the cutest, funnest, and most delightful YA' s I' ve read in a long time!" -- Ellen Oh, co-founder of WeNeedDiverseBooks, editor of Thousand Beginnings and Endings, and author of the Prophecy series "For those who are curious about the behind-the-scenes elements of reality TV, the novel offers plenty of detail and gives a sense of the tedious nature of the process and the deliberate manufacturing of drama. Mangle deftly handles the tensions and hurt of a family post-divorce and the authenticity of a mother-daughter relationship. . . . Fluffy and fun. " -- Kirkus Reviews
