Synopsis

A candid, witty, and inspiring collection of essays from The Bachelor’s first Black Bachelorette, exploring everything from relationships and love to politics and race
 
“The Bachelor gave me an opportunity, but I created my own happy ending.”

Rachel Lindsay rose to prominence as The Bachelor’s first Black Bachelorette and has since become one of the franchise’s most well-known figures—and outspoken critics. But there has always been more to Lindsay than meets the eye, and in this book, she finally tells her own story, in her own words. 
  
In wide-ranging essays, Lindsay opens up about her experience on ABC’s hit show and reveals everything about her life off-camera, from a childhood growing up in Dallas, Texas, as the daughter of a U.S. District Judge, to her disastrous dating life prior to appearing on The Bachelor, to her career in law, and the decision to become a reality-TV contestant. She also brings a sharp wit and keen intellect to weigh in on issues such as the lack of diversity in reality television and the importance of political engagement, protest, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Told in the down-to-earth, no-nonsense voice she’s become known for, Lindsay’s book of essays provides an intimate look at the life of one of reality TV’s most beloved stars, as well as advice and inspiration that will make her a role model for anyone who has ever struggled to find their way in love and life. As she says, “Contrary to popular belief, the best gift I ever received was not a wedding ring. It was the permission I gave myself to be imperfect.” And if you don’t believe her, you know the saying: Miss me with that.

Super impressed with this memoir. Lindsay gets into *almost* all the drama. I’m a big fan and really got a sense of her in a new way. The writing is solid. My biggest complaint is the book is too long and gets a little redundant.......more

A very good version of a celebrity memoir! Miss Me With That is by the first Black woman to be The Bachelorette and it follows her life and messy relationships prior to the show, things she learned, and her experiences on Bachelor and Bachelorette. She talks a lot about the experience of being a Bla......more

Rachel Lindsay is a real one. This entire book was an A+ for effort, an A+ for keeping it 100, an A+ for speaking her truths, and an A+ for skewering these Bachelor Nation weirdoes from the producers, to the weirdo male contestants, down to the weirdo viewers at home who can never let a bitch live!......more

Whew, I'd expect nothing less from Rachel Lindsay, but she covered a lot of ground in Miss Me With That. From her relationship foibles and winding career path to her experience with The Bachelor franchise and her work combatting racism, she really unpacks allllll of it. I appreciated how much Rachel......more

Let me start with the positives: Miss Me With That passed all of my “Requirements for a Decent Memoir Test”: This book was multi-dimensional; I believed her and didn’t perceive any sensationalizing whatsoever, and the book was DEFINITELY in her own voice. I especially loved the parts talking about g......more
