I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for a review. 

I soooooo enjoyed this book. It had rivals to lovers. Second chance romance in a better way, where the original couple doesn't get a second chance (because helloooooo you broke up for a reason), but someone else does. AND it's sapphic. 

Maya and Skye join the cast for a reality tv show, where they have to date their ex-boyfriend Jordy (gah even his name sucks). At the start of it Maya is under the impression that Skye knew about Jordy cheating on her and Skye is under the impression that Maya overreacted to Jordy breaking up with her. After figuring out that the other person isn't so bad, the two women team up to try and break Jordy's heart. 

Overall, I think the writing was pretty decent. There was some times in the middle where it was hard to differentiate which POV I was reading because Maya and Skye read kind of similarly, but other than that I think it's a pretty solid read. Plus the assbag ex-bf reaps what he sows in the end.
