Book Synopsis

From former football player and star of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette comes a fascinating and eye-opening behind-the-scenes look at his drama-filled season on the hit reality show.

Before Colton Underwood captured the hearts of millions on The Bachelor, he was a goofy, socially awkward, overweight adolescent who succeeded on the football field while struggling with personal insecurities off it. An All American gridiron hero, he was also a complex, sometimes confused, soft-hearted romantic wondering how these contradictions fit together. Old-fashioned and out of step with the swipe right dating culture of today, he was saving the most intimate part of life for the love of his life. If only he could find her…

Now, in The First Time, Colton opens up about how he came to find himself and true love at the same time via the Bachelor franchise. Unencumbered by cameras and commercial breaks, he delivers a surprisingly raw, endearing, and seriously juicy account of his journey through The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor, along with what has happened with him and Cassie Randolph since his season wrapped. He opens up about being dumped by Becca, his secret dalliance with Tia, what it was like to be the world’s most famous virgin, his behind-the-scenes conflicts with production, and how his on-camera responsibilities as the Bachelor nearly destroyed him after he knew he had already fallen in love with Cassie.

A memoir for Bachelor Nation and anyone who believes in the magic of love, The First Time carries a simple but powerful message: It’s okay to laugh and cry and occasionally jump over a fence, if it means coming one step closer to the right person.

    Privileged white boy who is stuck living in the glory days of high school football. Horrible writing! Should be a free book. Regret spending money on this. Quarantine makes you do stupid things, and this was mine.
  • Super relatable

    I absolutely loved reading this book when my daughter would nap or go to sleep at night. It only took me a few days and I was constantly ready for more. If you’re a fan of The Bachelor franchise, this definitely helps get a true perspective of what it’s like being on the show and how there is more complexity to it than what’s shown for TV entertainment.

    I loved this book! Colton is extremely transparent and vulnerable throughout the book. I appreciated his vulnerability and the genuine emotions he described. I watch Colton’s season of the bachelor and seeing the show through his eyes made me realize that to the producers it is just a show, but to the characters it is their life; they have to fight for what they want. It was overall a great book! Read it in one sitting!
  • I'm a straight 45 year old married dude and even I want to give Colton a rose now.

    Just when you thought Colton was the contestant with the most integrity, you will think even more of him with this book. He makes you want to be a better person with his honesty and vulnerability. Now I'm going to go give my wife a big kiss (but even I know not to use her toothbrush, Colton!).
