Goodreads Summary
When her high-profile search for
romance led Emily Maynard to dead end after dead end, real love finally found
her.
Millions know Emily Maynard Johnson
from her unprecedented double appearances on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
Millions also know that neither of the relationships from those shows lasted
much longer than a commercial break.
Overcome with embarrassment following
her nationally televised failures at romance, Emily finally committed her heart
to the only one she knew would never leave her empty and alone. Abandoning her
desire to be chosen by men and finding peace in the fact that she was already
chosen by God, Emily found the joy she had been looking for in serving God.
In I Said Yes,
Emily tells the story of her life before and after reality TV fame, describing
the profound new reality she discovered when she forsook fame in favor of the
Lord. At the end of a long, fruitless search for a man, this courageous young
woman found the truest love of all waiting right in front of her. To that love,
Emily said yes.
My Thoughts
I watched The Bachelor and The Bachelorette when Emily was
on and I remember her being my favorite.
I was pulling for her and hoping she would find love both times and was
sad when things didn’t work out for her.
So, when I saw this book I was so excited to read and review it!
I wasn’t disappointed at all! I really enjoyed reading about her life and
experiences. I like reading books that
are inspiring and full of faith and you definitely get both in this book.
Since I watched both of her seasons I guess I kind of felt
like I knew her. It made reading this
book even more entertaining. I found
myself feeling so happy for her in the end.
I definitely recommend reading I
Said Yes, especially if you watched her seasons. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
