once i found out the premise of this story, i KNEW i had to read it. i love reality tv show settings in romance books, especially when there is queer rep. i do wish the characters were a little older - it just felt weird that some where barely 18. i also kinda felt as if the relationship between our two mcs needed a little more on-page development. like i just wanted them to have more time together for me to be like FULLY invested in their love, if that makes sense. overall, i had a great time - it was funny and i wanted to PUNCH the living daylights out of jordy.

This book was so adorable. It was basically The Bachelor but with a sapphic twist. Love triangles are automatically superior if the two love interests get together instead. I liked how this critiqued reality tv shows by portraying it as a way to pit women against each other. But the women in this book definitely didn’t fall for it as they all became friends in the end. There was just something so satisfying about Jordy reaching his downfall at the end. I fucking hate that guy!

I wish we had gotten more of Maya and Skye throughout the story. I feel like some of their romance was rushed, or it was more of a physical relationship. I didn’t fully feel that emotional connection until the end. I just would have liked to see more heartfelt conversations between the two girls in the middle of the story.

I also wasn’t a big fan of the miscommunication trope that happened at the end of the story. It was relatively small compared to other books I’ve read but it was still frustrating. Overall, I really enjoyed this sapphic rom-com. I would highly recommend it.

Cute romance story with a bonus of getting revenge on those who have wronged them. Behind the romance plot it really just focuses on women supporting and believing each other when no one else does.

This was a sweet, lighthearted, and super trope-y read. I love both narrators, and I have been wanting to give Sophie Gonzales another chance after not getting on with If this gets out (but loving Only mostly devastated).

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 really enjoyed this emotional and hilarious sapphic rom-com. I loved how different the MCs were and how they fit together as a couple and as friends. I, of course, loved the Jordie take down who I loathed! Overall a fun and sweet book.
