I thought there were a few holes in the logic with some of the main characters' schemes, which started to bug me towards the end, but ultimately I'm happy with how things wrapped up. My main feedback-y comment would be that this felt like a "new adult" book, not YA. It seemed very forced that the characters were all so young, and I think it would have made more sense if they were all 2-3 years older (also, this would allow for fewer fade-to-black scenes). I totally get how this may not have been the author's choice, though.

i love the book cover and the title. it's so intriguing. i also love the characters (except jordy). the girls are funny and really made me laugh out loud. the dynamics are so good. i love the reality show concept, it made things more interesting. i also like isaac a lot. he's very cool.
i have a few problems here and there but idk.
song that reminds me of this book: psycho by maisie peter

I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I highly recommend it to fans of the traditional reality dating shows. It gives all the juicy goods while also making you fall for both of our main characters.
I also listened to this as an audio arc courtesy of NetGalley/Macmillan. The narrators were everything. At this point, I will pretty much listen to anything Natalie narrates.

I loved Sophie Gonzales’s previous book Perfect on Paper, but this one was a whole new level. The pacing had me flying through the pages desperate to see what came next! Maya and Skye made such a cute couple, and it was lovely to see how they balance each other out despite being very different people.
The book deals heavily with misogyny and girl-on-girl hate, and I love how it unpacks the harmful way reality shows — and society at large — often pit women against each other. The female characters don’t behave perfectly by any means, and even Maya and Skye engage in toxic behaviors, but the book makes it very clear that it’s a product of internalized sexism, and that was very refreshing to see.
The ending somehow manages to balance a message of not letting revenge consume you AND the evil ex getting his just deserts, and I was so here for it! I came away feeling extremely happy and satisfied.
Thanks to Wednesday Books for the ebook ARC!
