Publisher's Summary:
Learn more about the new "Bachelor" Arie Luyendyk from one of the people who knew him best "Bachelorette" Emily Maynard Johnson.
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.

Ok, not great
Book is about Emily's life and journey in finding God and ultimately love. I wish the book had provided more tips and information for HOW she got through the hard times, HOW she grew closer to God, not just simply that she did. I think Emily has a great story that could help a lot of people in similar soul-searching situations, had she gone there. Maybe she'll write another book :-)
Interesting read for bachelor/bachelorette fans
I really enjoyed hearing the behind the scene take on what goes into the making of the bachelor and bachelorette series and also how Emily's real life has shaped her into the person she is today. I would have preferred she had narrated it herself though after being on tv and people knowing how you talk and sound the narrator didn't match Emily's personality. This would have made it way more enjoyable to listen to in my opinion if you are a fan of hers.
Duh clueless & holier than thou
Pill popping, self centered and spoiled brat. Boooring even more than her dates on the bachelor & the bachelotette. Don't waste your time
Pretty Cheesy
I always loved Emily on the Bachelor/rette but I didn't know she was this cheesy in real life. The story was ok, and I appreciate her being so honest about the experience of losing her fiancé. That made me feel for her. I just could have gone without some of the stuff that sounded like it was purely there to clear her name.
She is amazing!
I had no idea what Emilys true story was until now. To this day she is mentioned more than any other person on either show. A lot of men fell hard for Emily and they still mention her to this day 5 years later. She puts missing pieces together in this book. To my surprise she really isnt a stuck on herself snob that doesnt care about others. She really cares and is an inspiration to us all. Thank you for writing your story! Now I have to look up the latest on you, Tyler and your family! Congratulations for finding Gods will for your family and doing what it takes to make it all work.
